Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Bacterial RNA polymerase (RNAP) is a promising target for antimicrobial chemotherapy due to its indispensable role in bacterial growth and survival. Among its components, only the rpoB gene encoding the β-subunit is known for its association with rifampicin resistance. We recently identified a variant of the RNAP α-subunit (RpoA) in Pseudomonas aeruginosa, conferring heightened bacterial...
