Mutations in <i>rpoB</i> that confer rifampicin resistance can alter levels of peptidoglycan precursors and affect β-lactam susceptibility
2022-11-15
Abstract excerpt
Bacteria can adapt to stressful conditions through mutations affecting the RNA polymerase core subunits that lead to beneficial changes in transcription. In response to selection with rifampicin (RIF), mutations arise in the RIF resistance determining region (RRDR) of rpoB that reduce antibiotic binding. These changes can also alter transcription and thereby have pleiotropic effects on bacterial fitness. Here, we...
