Abstract excerpt
Mupirocin (Mup) is a polyketide antibiotic for clinical methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus treatment and agricultural biocontrol, acting by binding to IleRS to inhibit protein synthesis. Here, we demonstrate that Pseudomonas viciae 11K1 acquires resistance to mupirocin not through canonical mutations in ileS, the gene encoding the drug target, but via single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of EmhR, a...
