Mycobacterial Virulence Factors: Surface-Exposed Lipids and Secreted Proteins
The clinically important <i>Mycobacterium tuberculosis</i> (<i>M. tb</i>) and related mycobacterial pathogens use various virulence mechanisms to survive and cause disease in their hosts. Several well-established virulence factors include the surface-exposed lipids in the myc...
