Abstract excerpt
The present study reported a rare gentamicin-susceptible β-lactamase (PenA, OXA-57) expressing clinical Burkholderia pseudomallei isolate VB29710 from India. Whole-genome sequencing and structural analyses revealed the insertion of R962 and L963 into AmrB, the transmembrane-protein of the AmrAB-OprA efflux-pump that affected aminoglycoside-efflux through local alterations in backbone conformation.
