Abstract excerpt
Antimicrobial resistance mechanisms were identified in 11 spontaneous high- and low-level triclosan resistance (Tcs(r)) mutants of Rhodospirillum rubrum S1H by genotyping complemented with transcriptional analyses, antibiotic resistance screening, and membrane permeability analyses. High-end Tcs(r) (MIC = 8 mg/liter) was the result of a FabI1(G98V) mutation. This point mutation led to an even higher level of...
