Tuberculosis and non-tuberculosis mycobacterial infections are rising each year and often result in chronic incurable disease. Important antibiotics target cell-wall biosynthesis, yet some mycobacteria are alarmingly resistant or tolerant to currently available antibiotics. This resistance is often attributed to assumed differences in composition of the complex cell wall of different mycobacterial strains and species. However, due to the highly crosslinked and insoluble nature of mycobacterial cell walls, direct comparative determinations of cell-wall composition pose a challenge to analysis through conventional biochemical analyses. We introduce an approach to directly observe the chemical composition of mycobacterial cell walls using solid-state NMR spectroscopy.13C CPMAS spectra are provided of individual components (peptidoglycan, arabinogalactan, and mycolic acids) and ofin situcell-wall complexes. We assigned the spectroscopic contributions of each component in the cell-wall spectrum. We uncovered a higher arabinogalactan-to-peptidoglycan ratio in the cell wall ofM. abscessus, an organism noted for its antibiotic resistance, relative toM. smegmatis. Furthermore, differentiating influences of different types of cell-wall targeting antibiotics were observed in spectra of antibiotic-treated whole cells. This platform will be of value in evaluating cell-wall composition and antibiotic activity among different mycobacteria and in considering the most effective combination treatment regimens.
