Abstract:Tuberculosis is a pathogenic infection that has created trepidation around the globe due to its repercussion on the health of patients. The iron transport mechanism in mycobacterium plays a pivotal role in bacterial survival; whilst this can be considered an emerging drug target. Salicylate synthase is a member of the MST family and this enzyme is distrait in mammals. It is the first enzyme for the synthesis of mycobactin (siderophores) which is a determinant for iron transport. The present all-embracing revie… Show more
