The use of macrolide antibiotics in food animals has the potential to select for macrolide-resistant strains of resident bacterial flora. This may include the animal pathogens that are the intended targets of macrolide antibiotic intervention and Cam

In pioneering studies, Avery et al. identified DNA as the hereditary material (A. T. Avery, C. M. MacLeod, and M. McCarty, J. Exp. Med. 79 :137-158, 1944). They demonstrated, by means of variation in colony morphology, that this substance could trans

Described here are the development and validation of a novel approach to identify genes encoding drug targets in Streptococcus pneumoniae . The method relies on the use of an ordered genomic library composed of PCR amplicons that were generated under

Bacterial glycogen is a polyglucose storage compound that is thought to prolong viability during stationary phase. However, a specific role for glycogen has not been determined. We have characterized SMEG53, a temperature-sensitive mutant of Mycobact

Mycobacteriophage D29 is a lytic phage that infects both fast and slow-growing mycobacterial species. The complete genome sequence of D29 reveals that it is a close relative of the temperate mycobacteriophage L5, whose sequence has been described pre

The antimycobacterial compound ethambutol [Emb; dextro-2,2'-(ethylenediimino)-di-1-butanol] is used to treat tuberculosis as well as disseminated infections caused by Mycobacterium avium. The critical target for Emb lies in the pathway for the biosyn

Streptococcus pneumoniae is a useful tool for the discovery of broad-spectrum antibiotics because of its genetic malleability and importance as a pathogen. Recent publications of complete chromosomal DNA sequences for S. pneumoniae facilitate rapid a

A temperature-sensitive mutant of Mycobacterium smegmatis was characterized that contains a mutation in ddlA , the gene encoding d -alanine: d -alanine ligase. Enzymatic assays using recombinant proteins and d -cycloserine susceptibility indicate tha

A mutant of Mycobacterium smegmatis has been isolated that is simultaneously resistant to both d -cycloserine ( d -CS) and vancomycin. Genetic complementation with a PBP4 homolog restores sensitivity to both drugs. Resistance to d -CS and vancomycin

We have isolated a UV-induced temperature-sensitive mutant of Mycobacterium smegmatis that fails to grow at 42°C and exhibits a filamentous phenotype following incubation at the nonpermissive temperature, reminiscent of a defect in cell division. Co
