Abstract excerpt
The extensive use of aminoglycosides to treat bacterial infections has led to significant resistance, posing a global health threat. Recent clinical reports highlight high levels of aminoglycoside resistance due to Arm/Kam methyltransferases, which methylate specific nucleotides in 16S rRNA, preventing antibiotic binding to the ribosome. This study compared the ribosomal A site binding patterns of Arm...
