Genetic analysis of zwittermicin A resistance in Escherichia coli: effects on membrane potential and RNA polymerase.

Abstract excerpt

Zwittermicin A is a novel aminopolyol antibiotic that represents a new structural class of antibiotic and has diverse biological activities, including the suppression of plant disease and the ability to inhibit prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. To enhance our fundamental understanding and applications of zwittermicin A, we elucidated mechanisms of zwittermicin A resistance in Escherichia coli. Two classes of...
