Zusammenfassung: | The present invention is directed to a live-attenuated Mycobacterium tuberculosis composition comprising an isolated microorganism belonging to a M. tuberculosis MTBVAC strain having a i) PhoP- phenotype by the inactivation by a genetic deletion of the Rv0757 gene, wherein the open-reading frame (ORF) sequence of phoP consists of SEQ ID NO 4, and ii) the deletion of a second gene, Rv2930 (fadD26), that prevents PDIM production (PDIM- phenotype), wherein the open-reading frame (ORF) sequence of fadD26 consists of SEQ ID NO 2, for use in therapy in a human subject in need thereof, wherein the composition is administered to said subject via pulmonary delivery. |
