Research Abstract

Mycobacterium avium complex contains the glycopeptidolipid as one of major components of cell envelope. This study revealed the glycosylation pathways of some specific glycopeptidolipids showing high pathogenicity and that their oligosaccharide portion determined biochemical properties of cell envelope, which was associated with pathogenicity.
