“ Emb , therefore, not only could affect the complete elaboration of the arabinan as found previously for LAM from Mycobacterium smegmatis resistant mutant but also could inhibit the extent of mannose capping and hence its associated biological functions in M. tuberculosis.”
“More drastically, the mannose capping was completely inhibited when an Emb-susceptible strain was grown in the presence of subminimal inhibitory concentration of Emb.”
