TonB dependent uptake of β-lactam antibiotics in the opportunistic human pathogen <i>Stenotrophomonas maltophilia</i>
2019-04-22
Abstract excerpt
The β-lactam antibiotic ceftazidime is one of only a handful of drugs with proven clinical efficacy against the opportunistic human pathogen Stenotrophomonas maltophilia , Here, we show that mutations in the energy transducer TonB, encoded by smlt0009 in S. maltophilia , confer ceftazidime resistance. This breaks the dogma that β-lactams enter Gram-negative bacteria only by passive diffusion through outer membr...
