Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: To investigate the global prevalence of the acrB efflux transporter among antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in Klebsiella pneumoniae and to determine how mutations within AcrB drug-binding pockets influence structural stability and antibiotic interactions. METHODS: A global genomic analysis of 42 ARGs reported in K. pneumoniae isolates worldwide was performed to identify the prominence of acrB. A...
