Изменение спектра жирных кислот как один из механизмов адаптации/персистенции микроорганизмов

The review presents the basic information available in the literature on changes in the composition of fatty acids in various microorganisms in response to various environmental factors (stressors). The issues affecting the importance of fatty acids as biomarkers of pathogenetic and adaptive-persistent potential of bacteria are discussed. The prospects of studying the spectrum of fatty acids in the field of biochemistry, in particular, lipidomics of infectious diseases are noted.
