Abstract excerpt
Macrolide, lincosamide, and streptogramin (MLS) antibiotics are structurally distinct molecules that inhibit protein synthesis by binding overlapping sites within the 23S rRNA of bacterial ribosomes. The clinical utility of MLS antibiotics has diminished due to the dissemination of erythromycin resistance rRNA methyltransferase (Erm) genes. Staphylococcus aureus ErmB methylates the universally conserved A2058...
