Proximal Binding Pocket Arg717 Substitutions in Escherichia coli AcrB Cause Clinically Relevant Divergencies in Resistance Profiles
21 Mar 2022
Abstract excerpt
Recent mutations in RND efflux pumps in clinical strains have further increased multidrug resistance. We show that R717L and R717Q substitutions (found in azithromycin-resistant Salmonella enterica spp.) in the Escherichia coli efflux pump AcrB dramatically increase macrolide, as well as fluoroquinolone, resistance. On the other hand, cells became more susceptible to novobiocin and β-lactam cloxacillin. We urge...
