Riassunto

Explains the unique characteristics that cause this large group of bacteria responsible for tuberculosis and leprosy to function differently.

• Summarizes the complex architecture of the mycobacterial cell envelope and presents the major breakthroughs in this field.
• Provides in-depth coverage of the major components of this complex structure.
• Serve as a valuable reference for those working in the areas of biochemistry, genetics, genomics, and immunology.
