Lipid hydrolizing enzymes in virulence:<i>Mycobacterium tuberculosis</i>as a model system
25 May 2010
Abstract excerpt
This review is focused on the virulent traits of lipolytic enzymes from bacteria with special emphasis on Mycobacterium tuberculosis. In vivo, triacylglycerols in the form of inclusion bodies are present in tubercle bacilli in the lungs. This pathogenic bacterium possesses a lipase gene (Lip) family, which is expressed and differentially regulated under a variety of in vitro conditions. Not much research work has...
