Comparative cell wall core biosynthesis in the mycolated pathogens,<i>Mycobacterium tuberculosis</i>and<i>Corynebacterium diphtheriae</i>
24 Oct 2003
Abstract excerpt
The recent determination of the complete genome sequence of Corynebacterium diphtheriae, the aetiological agent of diphtheria, has allowed a detailed comparison of its physiology with that of its closest sequenced pathogenic relative Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Of major importance to the pathogenicity and resilience of the latter is its particularly complex cell envelope. The corynebacteria share many of the...
