Bacterial cells are covered by a complex carbohydrate coat of armor that allows bacteria to
thrive in a range of environments. As a testament to the importance of bacterial glycans …

A fluorescence turn-on probe, an azide-masked and trehalose-derivatized carbazole (Tre-
Cz), was developed to image mycobacteria. The fluorescence turn-on is achieved by …

Bacteria from the genus Mycobacterium include pathogens that cause serious diseases in
humans and remain as difficult infectious agents to treat. Central to these challenges are the …

The genus Mycobacterium includes species such as Mycobacterium tuberculosis, which can
cause deadly human diseases. These bacteria have a protective cell envelope that can be …

Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), perhaps more than any other organism, is intrinsically
appealing to chemical biologists. Not only does the cell envelope feature one of the most …

Corynebacteriales including the causative agent of many diseases such as tuberculosis are
known to be extremely resistant against external stress as well as to antibiotic treatments …
