Crystal structure of Bacillus anthracis dihydrofolate reductase with the dihydrophthalazine-based trimethoprim derivative RAB1 provides a structural explanation of potency and selectivity
(American Society for Microbiology, 2009-07)Bacillus anthracis possesses an innate resistance to the antibiotic trimethoprim due to poor binding to dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR); currently, there are no commercial antibacterials that target this enzyme in B. ... -
Functional cloning of Bacillus anthracis dihydrofolate reductase and confirmation of natural resistance to trimethoprim
(American Society for Microbiology, 2004-12)Bacillus anthracis is reported to be naturally resistant to trimethoprim (TMP), a drug that inhibits dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR), a key enzyme in the folate pathway. A microdilution broth assay established that the MIC ... -
In vitro efficacy of new antifolates against trimethoprim-resistant Bacillus anthracis
(American Society for Microbiology, 2007-12)Bacillus anthracis is innately resistant to trimethoprim (TMP), a synthetic antifolate that selectively inhibits several bacterial dihydrofolate reductases (DHFRs) but not human DHFR. Previously, we were able to confirm ...
