Therefore , targeting the mevalonate pathway , and mevalonate diphosphate decarboxylase , could be a potential antimicrobial drug .
In gram positive bacteria , isopentenyl diphosphate , the end product of mevalonate diphosphate decarboxylase , is an essential intermediate in peptidoglycan and polyisoprenoid biosynethesis .
