Cording Mycobacterium tuberculosis (H37Rv strain) viewed with fluorescent microscopy

Cord factor, or trehalose dimycolate (TDM), is a glycolipid molecule found in the cell wall of Mycobacterium tuberculosis and similar species. It is the primary lipid found on the exterior of M. tuberculosis cells.[1] Cord factor influences the arrangement of M. tuberculosis cells into long and slender formations, giving its name.[2] Cord factor is virulent towards mammalian cells and critical for survival of M. tuberculosis in hosts, but not outside of hosts.[3][4] Cord factor has been observed to influence immune responses, induce the formation of granulomas, and inhibit tumor growth.[5] The antimycobacterial drug SQ109 is thought to inhibit TDM production levels and in this way disrupts its cell wall assembly.[6]
