The Antituberculosis Drug Ethambutol Selectively Blocks Apical Growth in CMN Group Bacteria
8 Feb 2017
Abstract excerpt
Members of the genus Mycobacterium are the most prevalent cause of infectious diseases. Mycobacteria have a complex cell envelope containing a peptidoglycan layer and an additional arabinogalactan polymer to which a mycolic acid bilayer is linked; this complex, multilayered cell wall composition (mAGP) is conserved among all CMN group bacteria. The arabinogalactan and mycolic acid synthesis pathways constitute...
