Identification and Recombinant Expression of a Mycobacterium avium Rhamnosyltransferase Gene ( rtfA ) Involved in Glycopeptidolipid Biosynthesis

1 Nov 1998

Abstract excerpt

The Mycobacterium avium complex is a source of disseminated infections in patients with advanced AIDS. This group of mycobacteria is distinguished by the presence of highly antigenic, surface-exposed glycopeptidolipids, and these glycolipids possess variant oligosaccharide structures that are the chemical basis of the 28 distinct serovars of the M. avium complex. We previously described the ser2 gene cluster,...
