Abstract excerpt
In Gram-positive bacteria, a large subfamily of dual ATP-binding cassette proteins confers acquired or intrinsic resistance to macrolide, lincosamide, and streptogramin antibiotics by a far from well understood mechanism. Here, we report the first biochemical characterization of one such protein, Vga(A), which is involved in streptogramin A (SgA) resistance among staphylococci. Vga(A) is composed of two...
