Homocysteine Antagonism of Nitric Oxide-Related Cytostasis in <b> <i>Salmonella typhimurium</i> </b>
19 Apr 1996
Abstract excerpt
Nitric oxide (NO) is associated with broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity of particular importance in infections caused by intracellular pathogens. An insertion mutation in the metL gene of Salmonella typhimurium conferred specific hypersusceptibility to S-nitrosothiol NO-donor compounds and attenuated virulence of the organism in mice. The metL gene product catalyzes two proximal metabolic steps required for...
