Genetic determination of the meso-diaminopimelate biosynthetic pathway of mycobacteria.

Journal of bacteriology - 1 Jul 1994

Cirillo J D, Weisbrod T R, Banerjee A, Bloom B R, Jacobs W R

Abstract excerpt

The increasing incidence of multiple-drug-resistant mycobacterial infections indicates that the development of new methods for treatment of mycobacterial diseases should be a high priority. meso-Diaminopimelic acid (DAP), a key component of a highly immunogenic subunit of the mycobacterial peptid...
