Abstract excerpt
Streptogramins A and B are chemically unrelated antimicrobials which act synergistically. This synergy is responsible for enhanced activity of the combination compared to each of the components and allows to overcome certain mechanisms of resistance to streptogramins B.. Although not completely elucidated, the mechanism of synergy is unique and based on a stable ribosome conformational change provoked by the...
