Identification of New Drug Targets in Multi-Drug Resistant Bacterial Infections [PDF]

, 2013
Abstract : We are combining two parallel efforts to explore new targets and pathways in A. baumannii. We hypothesize that two proteins involved in aromatic amino acid and metabolite biosynthesis are essential and are valid targets for development of inhibitors as potential antibiotics.
