Branched chain fatty acid synthesis drives tissue-specific innate immune response and  infection dynamics of  Staphylococcus aureus.

Fatty acid-derived acyl chains of phospholipids and lipoproteins are central to bacterial membrane fluidity and lipoprotein function. Though it can incorporate exogenous unsaturated fatty acids (UFA), Staphylococcus aureus synthesizes branched chain fatty acids (BCFA), not UFA, to modulate or increa...
