The dimannoside (PIM 2) and hexamannoside (PIM 6) phosphatidyl-myo-inositol
mannosides are the two most abundant classes of PIM found in Mycobacterium bovis
bacillus Calmette Guérin, Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv, and Mycobacterium
smegmatis 607. Recently, these long known molecules received a renewed interest due to
the fact that PIM 2 constitute the anchor motif of an important constituent of the mycobacterial
cell wall, the lipoarabinomannans (LAM), and that both LAM (phosphoinositol-capped LAM) …
