“…The major glycolipid was an acylated glucose derivative. Acid hydrolysis and deacylation of the lipid both yielded glucose as the only water soluble product and its IR spectrum was very similar to that of a known acylated glucose isolated from Mycop h m a strain J (Smith & Mayberry, 1968). Traces of another glycolipid were observed which had the chromatographic properties of a glycosyl diglyceride.…”

The lipid composition of Microbacterium thermosphucturn has been investigated. The major phospholipids were phosphatidylglycerol, bis-phosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylethanolamine. The glycolipid fraction contained an acylated glucose and trace amounts of a glycosyl diglyceride, tentatively identified as dimannnsyl diglyceride. The fatty acid components of the lipids were predominantly C,, and C,, branched chain isomers. The lipid composition of this organism was compared with that of other Corynebacteriaceae and Lactobacillaceae and it is suggested that the present classification should be retained.

“…The principal types found include diglucosyl, galactosylglucosyl, dimannosyl, and digalactosyl diglycerides in addition to mono-and triglycosyl diglycerides. Although they have been found mainly in Gram-positive species, they constitute about 20 % of the lipid of M. laidlawii (Smith and Mayberry, 1968). In some Gram-positive species they account for only a few percent of the total lipid.…”

“…Similar to Borrelia and Helicobacter , the Mycoplasma spp. are not intracellular organisms and can modify free cholesterol into a glycolipid, specifically a cholesteryl-glucoside (126, 127). Mycoplasma can acquire cholesterol directly from serum lipoproteins (128).…”

Intracellular bacteria use a number of strategies to survive, grow, multiply, and disseminate within the host. One of the most striking adaptations that intracellular pathogens have developed is the ability to utilize host lipids and their metabolism. Bacteria such as Anaplasma , Chlamydia , or Mycobacterium can use host lipids for different purposes, such as a means of entry through lipid rafts, building blocks for bacteria membrane formation, energy sources, camouflage to avoid the fusion of phagosomes and lysosomes, and dissemination. One of the most extreme examples of lipid exploitation is Mycobacterium , which not only utilizes the host lipid as a carbon and energy source but is also able to reprogram the host lipid metabolism. Likewise, Chlamydia spp. have also developed numerous mechanisms to reprogram lipids onto their intracellular inclusions. Finally, while the ability to exploit host lipids is important in intracellular bacteria, it is not an exclusive trait. Extracellular pathogens, including Helicobacter , Mycoplasma , and Borrelia , can recruit and metabolize host lipids that are important for their growth and survival. Throughout this chapter we will review how intracellular and extracellular bacterial pathogens utilize host lipids to enter, survive, multiply, and disseminate in the host.
