Efflux Pump Antibiotic Binding Site Mutations Are Associated with Azithromycin Nonsusceptibility in Clinical Neisseria gonorrhoeae Isolates
24 Aug 2020
Abstract excerpt
Lyu and Moseng et al. used cryo-electron microscopy to characterize key residues involved in drug binding by mosaic-like MtrD efflux pump alleles in Neisseria gonorrhoeae (1). Isogenic experiments introducing key MtrD substitutions R714G and K823E increased macrolide MICs, leading the authors to predict that nonmosaic MtrD “gonococcal strains bearing both the mtrR promoter and amino acid changes at MtrD positions...
