Oligosaccharides of Phenolic Glycolipids (PGLs)

Focusing on the role of phenolic glycolipids (PGLs) in mycobacterial pathogens, this book explores the unique production of these compounds by species like M. tuberculosis and M. leprae. It delves into the significance of PGL-1 in leprosy pathogenesis and offers an in-depth analysis of the identification and synthesis of PGL oligosaccharides, along with the molecular mechanisms that contribute to mycobacterial disease processes.
