Maranha A, Costa M, Ripoll-Rozada J, Manso J, Miranda V, Mendes V, et al.
Commun Biol
. 2023 Jan;
6(1):108.
PMID: 36707645
The steep increase in nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) infections makes understanding their unique physiology an urgent health priority. NTM synthesize two polysaccharides proposed to modulate fatty acid metabolism: the ubiquitous 6-O-methylglucose...
