Spreading of a mycobacterial cell surface lipid into host epithelial membranes promotes infectivity

2019-11-16

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Several virulence lipids populate the outer cell wall of pathogenic mycobacteria (Jackson, 2014). Phthiocerol dimycocerosate (PDIM), one of the most abundant outer membrane lipids (Anderson, 1929), plays important roles in both defending against host antimicrobial programs (Camacho et al., 2001; Cox et al., 1999; Murry et al., 2009) and in evading these programs altogether (Cambier et al., 2014a...
