Antibiotic usage promotes the evolution of resistance against gepotidacin, a novel multi-targeting drug
2018-12-13
Abstract excerpt
Multi-targeting antibiotics, i.e. single compounds capable to inhibit two or more bacterial targets offer a promising therapeutic strategy, but information on resistance evolution against such drugs is scarce. Gepotidacin is an antibiotic candidate that selectively inhibits both bacterial DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV. In a susceptible organism, Klebsiella pneumoniae , a combination of two specific mutations in...
