Abstract

Microbial lipids play a critical role in the pathogenesis of infectious diseases by modulating the host cell membrane properties, including lipid/protein diffusion and membrane organization. Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) synthesizes various chemically distinct lipids that are exposed on its outer membrane and interact with host cell membranes. However, the effects of the structurally diverse Mtb lipids on the host cell membrane properties to fine-tune the host cellular response remains unknown.
