Pyrazinamide (PZA) is a cornerstone drug in tuberculosis (TB) treatment with a strong bactericidal activity in vivo on both actively and non-replicating bacterial subpopulations. Yet the precise mode ...

Bacterial polymorphic toxins are modular weapons that mediate inter-microbial competition and host interactions by delivering diverse cytotoxic domains through specialized secretion systems. Here, we ...

The research topics of the LISM today remain centered on biological membranes and in particular membranes of Gram-negative bacteria. Since […]

This study sheds light into the complex process of intracellular lipid accumulation and storage in the survival and persistence of pathogenic mycobacteria, which is of clinical relevance. By identifying the proteins involved in the formation of ...
