Mycobacterial mistranslation is necessary and sufficient for rifampicin phenotypic resistance.
Errors are inherent in all biological systems. Errors in protein translation are particularly frequent giving rise to a collection of protein quasi-species, the diversity of which will vary according to the error rate. As mistranslation rates rise, these new proteins could produce new phenotypes, although none have been identified to date. Here, we find that mycobacteria substitute glutamate fo...
متن کاملClinically Relevant Hcv Drug Resistance Mutations Figure
Drug resistance information on direct-acting antivirals (DAAs) used to treat hepatitis C (HCV) infection is accumulating rapidly. A systematic, comprehensive one-stop information source summarizing relevant data would benefit researchers, clinicians and the HCV community at large. The HCV resistance field is not yet as advanced as the HIV field, for which numerous resistance interpretation reso...
متن کاملComprehensive phenotypic characterization of rifampicin resistance mutations in Salmonella provides insight into the evolution of resistance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
OBJECTIVES Mutations in the β-subunit of RNA polymerase (RNAP), encoded by rpoB, are responsible for rifampicin resistance (Rif(R)). Although many mutations in rpoB can reduce susceptibility, only a few are frequent amongst Rif(R) clinical Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) isolates. It has been suggested that there is a negative correlation between the fitness costs of Rif(R) mutations and their...
متن کاملClinically relevant chromosomally encoded multidrug resistance efflux pumps in bacteria.
Efflux pump genes and proteins are present in both antibiotic-susceptible and antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Pumps may be specific for one substrate or may transport a range of structurally dissimilar compounds (including antibiotics of multiple classes); such pumps can be associated with multiple drug (antibiotic) resistance (MDR). However, the clinical relevance of efflux-mediated resistance ...
متن کاملEmergence of Clinically Relevant Non-Tuberculous Mycobacterial Infections in Saudi Arabia
BACKGROUND Non-Tuberculous Mycobacteria (NTM) are emerging around the world due to a higher prevalence of immunosuppressive illness and therapy. Saudi Arabia is not an exception as there have been novel mycobacterial species also identified. In addition, several published case reports from different parts of the country suggest a growing pathogenic potential of NTM. As the first nationwide stud...
