Detection and accurate identification of Mycobacterium species by flow injection tandem mass spectrometry (FIA-MS/MS) analysis of mycolic acids
16 Apr 2025
Abstract excerpt
Mycolic acids, long-chain α-alkyl, β-hydroxy fatty acids, are characteristic for the genus Mycobacterium and play a critical role in the structural integrity and pathogenicity of mycobacterial cell walls. The unique structural diversity of mycolic acids among various Mycobacterium species offers a reliable biomarker for taxonomic differentiation. In this study, we applied flow injection analysis coupled with...
