Drug resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains have altered cell envelope hydrophobicity that influences infection outcomes in human macrophages

Abstract In recent decades, drug resistant (DR) strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M.tb), the cause of tuberculosis (TB), have emerged that threaten public health. Although M.tb‘s complex and protective cell envelope has been widely studied, little is known about how levels of peripheral lipids...
