Structure and Biosynthesis of Mangotoxin Produced by the Plant Pathogen Pseudomonas syringae
The structure of mangotoxin remained elusive for over two decades. Here, mangotoxin was isolated from the native producer, Pseudomonas syringae pv. syringae, and was determined to be an alkyne‐containing dipeptide. Mangotoxin inhibited the growth of multidrug‐resistant human pathogen Klebsiella pneumoniae.

Enterobacteriaceae infection – diagnosis, antibiotic resistance and prevention
Intestinal infections caused by rod-shaped bacteria of the Enterobacteriaceae genus are one of the major health hazards in countries where sanitation standards are low. Strains of Shigella, Salmonella, Escherichia and Yersinia are responsible for diarrhea, severe bacillary dysentery, typhoid, other intestinal diseases, as well as genitourinary tract ...
