1. A live recombinant Mycobacterium bovis-BCG strain comprising nucleic acids capable of overexpression and overexpressing both PhoP and PhoR proteins, the recombinant Mycobacterium bovis-BCG strain having improved immunogenicity compared to wild type nonrecombinant Mycobacterium bovis-BCG strain, the recombinant Mycobacterium bovis-BCG strain having virulence comparable with wild type nonrecombinant Mycobacterium bovis-BCG strain, and the recombinant Mycobacterium bovis-BCG strain having a decreased virulence compared to recombinant Mycobacterium bovis-BCG strain overexpressing only PhoP.
