Loss of Pde1 function acts as an evolutionary gateway to penicillin resistance in Streptococcus pneumoniae
5 Oct 2023
Abstract excerpt
Streptococcus pneumoniae is a major human pathogen and rising resistance to β-lactam antibiotics, such as penicillin, is a significant threat to global public health. Mutations occurring in the penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) can confer high-level penicillin resistance but other poorly understood genetic factors are also important. Here, we combined strictly controlled laboratory experiments and population...
