Virulence attenuation of two Mas-like polyketide synthase mutants of Mycobacterium tuberculosis.

Microbiology (Reading, England) - 1 Jul 2003

Rousseau Cécile, Sirakova Tatiana D, Dubey Vinod S, Bordat Yann, Kolattukudy Pappachan E, Gicquel Brigitte, Jackson Mary

Abstract excerpt

The cell envelope of pathogenic mycobacteria is highly distinctive in that it contains a large number of structurally related very long multiple methyl-branched fatty acids. These complex molecules are thought to play important roles in cell envelope organization and virulence. The genetic and en...
