Knockdown of the Type-II Fatty acid synthase gene hadC in mycobacterium fortuitum does not affect its growth, biofilm formation, and survival under stress
Background: Mycobacterial fatty acid synthase Type-II (FAS-II) components are major virulence factors exploited as potential targets for developing novel antimycobacterial drugs. The FAS-II enzyme 3-hydroxyacyl-ACP dehydratase (HadC) is important for biofilm development and pathogenesis of Mycobacte...
