Cell Wall Associated Factors of Mycobacterium tuberculosis as Major Virulence Determinants: Current Perspectives in Drugs Discovery and Design

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Mycobacteria genus is responsible for deadly diseases like tuberculosis and leprosy. Cell wall of bacteria belonging to this genus is unique in many ways. It plays a major role in the pathogenesis and intracellular survival inside the host. In intracellular pathogens, their cell wall acts as molecular shield and interacts with host cell milieu to modulate host defense responses. OBJECTIVES: In this...
