Molecular Basis of Antibiotic Self-Resistance in a Bee Larvae Pathogen
2021-11-23
Abstract excerpt
Paenibacillus larvae , the causative agent of the devastating honey-bee disease American Foulbrood, produces the cationic polyketide-peptide hybrid paenilamicin that displays high antibacterial and antifungal activity. Its biosynthetic gene cluster contains a gene coding for the N -acetyltransferase PamZ. We show that PamZ acts as self-resistance factor in P. larvae by deactivation of paenilamicin. Using tandem...
