Abstract excerpt
Sequences in the stem-loop part of 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) are considered to be crucial for predicting antibiotic resistance. Mutant sequences have been reported to be helpful in the prediction of spectinomycin resistance. It is expected that such mutations alter the 16S rRNA stem-loop conformation, which affects antibiotic binding. Metagenomic database provides 16S ribosomal DNA sequences isolated from...
