Fosmidomycin, an inhibitor of isoprenoid synthesis, induces persistence in Chlamydia by inhibiting peptidoglycan assembly

The antibiotic, fosmidomycin (FSM) targets the methylerythritol phosphate (MEP) pathway of isoprenoid synthesis by inhibiting the essential enzyme, 1-deoxy-D-xylulose 5-phosphate reductoisomerase (Dxr) and is lethal to intracellular parasites and bacteria. The obligate intracellular bacterial pathog...
