Aminoglycoside phosphotransferases: proteins, structure, and mechanism
1 Jan 1999
Abstract excerpt
Aminoglycoside antibiotics constitute an important class of clinically useful drugs which are imperiled by the emergence of resistant organisms. Aminoglycoside resistance in the clinics is primarily due to the presence of modifying enzymes which N-acetylate, O-adenylate or O-phosphorylate the antibiotics.
