Understanding the genome-wide response of Streptomyces coelicolor to the glycopeptide antibiotic teicoplanin
2021-01-01
Abstract excerpt
The glycopeptide antibiotics vancomycin and teicoplanin are clinically important as a second-line therapy to treat nosocomial infections caused by Gram-positive pathogens. Glycopeptide antibiotics universally target the terminal residues, D-Alanyl-D-Alanine on the cell wall peptidoglycan intermediate lipid II, interfering with peptidoglycan biosynthesis and weakening the cell wall. A general resistance mechanism t...
