Drug Resistance without a cost? Common and uncommon routes to fosfomycin resistance in Uropathogenic <i>Escherichia coli</i>
2023-06-20
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Fosfomycin kills bacteria by blocking the binding of phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) to the bacterial enzyme MurA and halting peptidoglycan synthesis. While its use has increased with the emergence of antibiotic resistance, the mechanisms leading to fosfomycin resistance remain relatively unexplored. In uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) that accounts for >75% of urinary tract infections (UTIs), f...
