Aggregation of nontuberculous mycobacteria is regulated by carbon:nitrogen balance

2019-05-08

Abstract excerpt

Nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are emerging opportunistic pathogens that form biofilms in environmental reservoirs such as household water systems and aggregate into phagocytosis-resistant clusters during infection. NTM constitutively aggregate in vitro , a phenotype typically considered to be a by-product of the mycolic-acid-rich cell wall. While culturing a model NTM, Mycobacterium smegmatis , in rich mediu...
