Cell wall deficient forms of mycobacteria: a review

2006-07-31

Abstract excerpt

Cell wall deficient (CWD)-forms or L-forms of bacteria are characterized by a complete or partial loss of cell wall components and by the change of cellular shape. CWD-forms (spheroplasts) of bacteria are commonly prepared in vitro and are used for various practical applications. However, very little is known about the conditions required for the formation of CWD-forms of bacteria and mycobacteria in vivoand their...
