Abstract excerpt
Highly conserved PenI-type class A β-lactamase in pathogenic members of Burkholderia species can evolve to extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL), which exhibits hydrolytic activity toward third-generation cephalosporins, while losing its activity toward the original penicillin substrates. We describe three single-amino-acid-substitution mutations in the ArgS arginine-tRNA synthetase that confer extra antibiotic...
