Regulatory Landscape of the Pseudomonas aeruginosa Phosphoethanolamine Transferase Gene eptA in the Context of Colistin Resistance
18 Jan 2023
Abstract excerpt
Pseudomonas aeruginosa has the genetic potential to acquire colistin resistance through the modification of lipopolysaccharide by the addition of 4-amino-4-deoxy-L-arabinose (L-Ara4N) or phosphoethanolamine (PEtN), mediated by the arn operon or the eptA gene, respectively. However, in vitro evolution experiments and genetic analysis of clinical isolates indicate that lipopolysaccharide modification with L-Ara4N...
