Deletion of N-acetylmuramyl-L-alanine amidases alters the host immune response to Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection

Deletion of N-acetylmuramyl-L-alanine amidases alters the host immune response to Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection

Peptidoglycan (PG), a heteropolysaccharide component of the mycobacterial cell wall can be shed during tuberculosis infection with immunomodulatory consequences. As such, changes in PG structure are expected to have important implications on disease progression and host responses during infection wi...
