Abstract
In this issue of Cell, Saelens et al. describe a new function for mycobacterial Type VII secretion systems: manipulation of host cell migration. They find that a substantial proportion of global TB cases arise from bacteria lacking this function, raising questions about its role in pathoadaptation of Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
