Reactive nitrogen intermediates and the pathogenesis of Salmonella and mycobacteria.

Abstract excerpt

Over the past decade, reactive nitrogen intermediates joined reactive oxygen intermediates as a biochemically parallel and functionally non-redundant pathway for mammalian host resistance to many microbial pathogens. The past year has brought a new appreciation that these two pathways are partially redundant, such that each can compensate in part for the absence of the other. In combination, their importance to...
