13 Dec 2022
Abstract excerpt
New antimicrobials are needed for the treatment of extensively drug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii . The de novo pyrimidine biosynthetic enzyme dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (DHODH) is a validated drug target for malaria and human autoimmune diseases. We provide genetic evidence that A. baumannii DHODH ( Ab DHODH) is essential for bacterial survival in rodent infection models. We chemically validate the target...
