Is Mycobacterial InhA a Suitable Target for Rational Drug Design?
InhA is the target of isoniazid, a first‐line antituberculosis drug. Isoniazid is, in fact, a prodrug that needs to be activated. Researchers are trying to develop direct inhibitors of InhA. This includes the resolution of crystallographic structures. The Protein Data Bank contains over a hundred InhA structures.

High sporulation and overexpression of virulence factors in biofilms and reduced susceptibility to vancomycin and linezolid in recurrent Clostridium [Clostridioides] difficile infection isolates [PDF]
Clostridium [Clostridioides] difficile infection (CDI) is one of the leading causes of diarrhea associated with medical care worldwide, and up to 60% of patients with CDI can develop a recurrent infection (R-CDI). A multi-species microbiota biofilm model
