This study shows that EsxA initiates MCV membrane damage while PDIM amplifies lesions to cause catastrophic rupture, enabling bacterial escape.

The paper shows that lipid metabolism in mycobacteria is linked to their subcellular location, with FACL6 deletion disrupting lipid handling and reducing intracellular fitness.

This study shows mycobacteria shed surface components during early infection, which affect both infected and bystander host cells.
