Letter to the Editor: Backbone (~1H, ~(15)N, ~(13)C) resonance assignments of a 21 kDa construct of S. aureus peptide deformylase

摘要

Mankind has come to a critical point with regard to bacterial infections. The emergence of new strains of antibiotic-resistant bacteria makes the current battery of antibiotics unsuccessful in the treatment of infections caused by these bacteria. Thus new classes of antibacterial agents must be found to relieve the pressure brought on by the resistant bacteria e.g., antibiotic-resistant staphylococcus aureus related infections. S. aureus is the cause of many life threatening hospital infections including skin lesions, deep-seated skin infections and pneumonia.
