Proximal binding pocket Arg717 substitutions in <i>Escherichia coli</i> AcrB cause clinically relevant divergencies in resistance profiles
2021-12-19
Abstract excerpt
Multidrug resistance (MDR) in bacteria can be caused by the over-expression of multidrug efflux pumps belonging to the Resistance-Nodulation-Division (RND) superfamily of proteins. These intrinsic or acquired pumps can export a wide range of antibiotics. Recently, amino acid substitutions within these pumps have been observed in resistant clinical strains. Among others, two of these worrying gain-of-function mutat...
