Expected Plazomicin Susceptibility in India Based on the Prevailing Aminoglycoside Resistance Mechanisms in Gram-Negative Organisms Derived from Whole-Genome Sequencing
1 Jul 2020
Abstract excerpt
Background: Aminoglycoside resistance is a growing challenge, and it is commonly mediated by the aminoglycoside-modifying enzymes (AMEs), followed by 16S rRNA methyl transferase. Plazomicin, a novel aminoglycoside agent approved by the Food and Drug Administration for complicated urinary tract infections is proven to overcome resistance mediated by AMEs but not due to 16S rRNA methyl transferase (16SRMTases). We...
