Structure of the Antibiotic Resistance Factor Spectinomycin Phosphotransferase from Legionella pneumophila
21 Jan 2010
Abstract excerpt
Aminoglycoside phosphotransferases (APHs) constitute a diverse group of enzymes that are often the underlying cause of aminoglycoside resistance in the clinical setting. Several APHs have been extensively characterized, including the elucidation of the three-dimensional structure of two APH(3') isozymes and an APH(2'') enzyme. Although many APHs are plasmid-encoded and are capable of inactivating numerous...
