Accumulation of heme biosynthetic intermediates contributes to the antibacterial action of the metalloid tellurite
The mechanisms of action of the antibacterial metalloid tellurite are unclear. Here, the authors show that tellurite induces an accumulation of hydroxyl radical and intermediates of heme biosynthesis inE. coli, and that the heme precursor 5-aminolevulinic acid potentiates tellurite toxicity.
