Article Synopsis
- National health systems globally have been reforming since the Alma Ata Declaration, focusing on people-centered and community-based strategies, particularly in Africa.
- In Cameroon, revolving funds for essential drugs are being implemented in community health centers to enhance primary health care and share financing responsibilities between citizens and government, with external support.
- The paper argues that these revolving drug funds should not be viewed in isolation but as part of a broader national and community response to economic crises, highlighting their role in promoting democracy and participatory management in health care.
Basically the peptidoglycan of Myxobater AL-1 consists of alternating beta-1,4-linked N-acetylglucosamic-N-acetylmuramic acid chains. After splitting the aminosugar backbone with a specific algal enzyme three subunits arise: a monomer, a dimer and a timer. Investigation of the monomer with specific enzymes and comparison of the degradation products to standards derived from other bacterial peptidoglycans suggest the following structure of the monomer peptide: L-alanyl-D-glutamic-L-meso-diaminopimelic-D-alanine.
