Genomic Insights into Ceftazidime Resistance in <i>Burkholderia pseudomallei</i> : Discovery of A172T Mutation, and Palindromic GC-Rich Repeat Sequences Facilitating <i>penA</i> Duplication and Amplification
2025-02-11
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Ceftazidime (CAZ) resistance in Burkholderia pseudomallei , the causative agent of melioidosis, complicates treatment in endemic regions. This study identified a novel A172T mutation and other known penA mutations as critical contributors to CAZ resistance in a large Thai strain collection. Frequent gene duplication and amplification (GDA) of penA , likely driven by Palindromic GC-Rich Repeat...
