The mycobacterial bacillus is encompassed by a remarkably elaborate cell wall structure.
The mycolyl-arabinogalactan-peptidoglycan (mAGP) complex is essential for the viability of …

Tuberculosis (TB) remains the second most common cause of death due to a single
infectious agent. The cell envelope of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), the causative agent …

The biology of mycobacteria is dominated by a complex cell envelope of unique composition
and structure and of exceptionally low permeability. This cell envelope is the basis of many …

Cell surface glycans are major drivers of antigenic diversity in bacteria. The biochemistry
and molecular biology underpinning their synthesis are important in understanding host …

Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the bacterium responsible for tuberculosis, is the global
leading cause of mortality from an infectious agent. Part of this success relies on the unique …

The small multidrug resistance (SMR) family is composed of widespread microbial
membrane proteins that fulfill different transport functions. Four functional SMR subtypes …

This review is the sixth update of the original article published in 1999 on the application of
MALDI mass spectrometry to the analysis of carbohydrates and glycoconjugates and brings …

The compositional and architectural complexity of the mycobacterial cell envelope is
probably the most distinctive feature of the Mycobacterium genus. It is the basis of many of …

Actinobacteria is a group of diverse bacteria. Most species in this class of bacteria are
filamentous aerobes found in soil, including the genus Streptomyces perhaps best known for …
