Temperature-dependent regulation of mycolic acid cyclopropanation in saprophytic mycobacteria: role of the Mycobacterium smegmatis 1351 gene (MSMEG_1351) in CIS-cyclopropanation of alpha-mycolates.

TL;DR: The presence of cyclopropanated cell wall mycolates in the nonpathogenic strain Mycobacterium smegmatis is demonstrated and MSMEG_1351 is identified as a gene encoding a PcaA homologue, indicating a mechanism of adaptation of cell wall structure and composition to cope with environmental factors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Overexpression of the KdpF Membrane Peptide in Mycobacterium bovis BCG Results in Reduced Intramacrophage Growth and Altered Cording Morphology

TL;DR: It is shown by quantitative RT-PCR that the Mycobacterium bovis BCG kdpAB and kdpDE genes clusters are differentially induced in potassium-deprived broth medium or within infected macrophages, suggesting that KdpF overexpression reduces intramacrophage growth which may result from alteration of the mycobacterial cell wall.
Journal ArticleDOI

Lsr2 Is an Important Determinant of Intracellular Growth and Virulence in Mycobacterium abscessus.

TL;DR: Virulence of the Lsr2 mutants was considerably diminished in cellular models (macrophage and amoeba) as well as in infected animals (mouse and zebrafish) and these results emphasize the importance of LSR2 in M. abscessus virulence.
