Exploiting Differences in Heme Biosynthesis between Bacterial Species to Screen for Novel Antimicrobials
The final three steps of heme biogenesis exhibit notable differences between di- and mono-derm bacteria. The former employs the protoporphyrin-dependent (PPD) pathway, while the latter utilizes the more recently uncovered coproporphyrin-dependent (CPD) pathway. In order to devise a rapid screen for...
