The loss of the PDIM/PGL virulence lipids causes differential secretion of ESX-1 substrates in <i>Mycobacterium marinum</i>
2024-01-10
Abstract excerpt
The mycobacterial cell envelope is a major virulence determinant in pathogenic mycobacteria. Specific outer lipids play roles in pathogenesis, modulating the immune system and promoting the secretion of virulence factors. ESX-1 (ESAT-6 system-1) is a conserved protein secretion system required for mycobacterial pathogenesis (1, 2). Previous studies revealed that mycobacterial strains lacking the outer lipid PDIM h...
