چکیده
Zygmunt, Walter A. (Mead Johnson & Co., Evansville, Ind.). Antagonism of d-cycloserine inhibition of mycobacterial growth by d-alanine. J. Bacteriol. 85:1217-1220. 1963.-Reversal of the antimycobacterial activity of d-4-amino-3-isoxazolidinone (d-cycloserine) by alanine in two species of mycobacteria actively growing on chemically defined media was compared. In both instances, d-alanine was the most effective reversal agent. The specificity with which the d isomer reversed the antimycobacterial activity of d-cycloserine was more pronounced than that observed with other species of bacteria. Mycobactin, a growth factor for certain mycobacteria, showed no reversal activity.

Correction to Reinterpreting the Mechanism of Inhibition of Mycobacterium tuberculosisd-Alanine:d-Alanine Ligase by d-Cycloserine
d-Cycloserine is a second-line drug approved for use in the treatment of patients infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the etiologic agent of tuberculosis. The unique mechanism of action of d-cycloserine, compared with those of other clinically employed antimycobacterial agents, represents an untapped and exploitable resource for future rational drug design programs. Here, we show that d-c...
متن کاملRegulation of Bacillus subtilis macrofiber twist development by D-cycloserine.
The effect of D-cycloserine on the establishment of twist states in Bacillus subtilis macrofibers was examined. Macrofibers produced in the presence of the drug differed in twist compared with those produced in its absence. The degree of twist alteration was dependent on the concentration of D-cycloserine in the growth medium. Macrofibers of different twist states representative of the entire t...

Stable isotope-mass spectrometry (MS)-based metabolomic profiling is a powerful technique for following changes in specific metabolite pool sizes and metabolic flux under various experimental conditions in a test organism or cell type. Here, we use a metabolomics approach to interrogate the mechanism of antibiotic action of d-cycloserine (DCS), a second line antibiotic used in the treatment of ...
