The <i>Mycobacterium tuberculosis</i> long-chain fatty acid resistome reveals the universal stress protein TB15.3 as essential for infection
2025-04-14
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> The human pathogen Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) thrives in lipid-rich microenvironments. Long-chain fatty acids (LCFA) are some of the most abundant lipids encountered by Mtb during infection. Mtb has evolved to utilize LCFA as a preferred carbon source, however, LCFA are also known to be potent antimicrobials. Mtb must therefore employ mechanisms to utilize LCFA as a carbon source while av...
