Abstract Abstract| Most Gram-positive bacteria incorporate membrane-or peptidoglycan-
attached carbohydrate-based polymers into their cell envelopes. Such cell-wall …

The cell wall component lipoarabinomannan (ManLAM) from Mycobacterium tuberculosis is
involved in the inhibition of phagosome maturation, apoptosis and interferon (IFN)‐γ …

Gram-positive bacteria, notably Bacillus and Streptomyces, have been used extensively in
industry. However, these microorganisms have not yet been exploited for the production of …

Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the causative agent of tuberculosis, is one of the most effective
human pathogens and the molecular basis of its virulence remains poorly understood. Here …

Pneumonia is a major cause of disease and death in foals. R hodococcus equi, a G ram‐
