The pathogen Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), causing tuberculosis disease, features an
extraordinary thick cell envelope, rich in Mtb-specific lipids, glycolipids, and glycans. These …

Abstract Mannose-capped lipoarabinomannan (ManLAM), present in all members of the
Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex and in other pathogenic Mycobacterium spp, is a high …

Lipoarabinomannan is a major immunomodulatory lipoglycan found in the cell envelope of
Mycobacterium tuberculosis and related human pathogens. It reproduces several salient …

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 …

Tuberculosis (TB) is considered the most onerous of infectious diseases according to recent
reports from the World Health Organization. Available tests for TB diagnosis present severe …

This review is the eighth update of the original article published in 1999 on the application of

Summary Exposure to Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) may lead to active or latent
tuberculosis, or clearance of Mtb, depending essentially on the quality of the host's immune …

Mycobacterial glycolipids are important cell envelope structures that drive host-pathogen
interactions. Arguably, the most important are lipoarabinomannan (LAM) and its precursor …

Lipoarabinomannan (LAM) is a lipoglycan found in abundant quantities in the cell envelope
of all mycobacteria. The nonreducing arabinan termini of LAM display species-specific …

Lipoarabinomannan (LAM) and its biosynthetic precursors, phosphatidylinositol mannosides
(PIMs) and lipomannan (LM) play important roles in the interactions of Mycobacterium …
