Cycloserine is a broad-spectrum antibiotic produced by Streptomyces orchidaceus. It is structural analogue of Dalanine and acts through a competitive inhibition of the D-alanine that is involved in bacterial cell wall synthesis. Cycloserine is inhibitory to M. tuberculosis and active against Escherichia coli, S. aureus, and Enterococcus, Nocardia, and Chlamydia spp. It is used in the treatment of MDR tuberculosis and is useful in renal tuberculosis, since most of the drug is excreted unchanged in the urine
Used as an antibiotic medicine in the treatment of drug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection.
