Abstract

In this issue of JEM, Reinink et al. (https://doi.org/10.1084/jem.20181812) use comparative lipidomics to identify a new family of trehalose-containing cell wall lipids that are enriched in virulent Salmonella serovars. These lipids are structurally related to the important mycobacterial immunogen cord factor.
