Antibiotic Resistance by Enzymatic Modification of Antibiotic Targets

Schaenzer, Adam J., Wright, Gerard D.·2020·Trends in Molecular Medicine

Abstract

Antibiotic resistance remains a significant threat to modern medicine. Modification of the antibiotic target is a resistance strategy that is increasingly prevalent among pathogens. Examples include resistance to glycopeptide and polymyxin antibiotics that occurs via chemical modification of their molecular targets in the cell envelope. Similarly, many ribosome-targeting antibiotics are impaired by methylation of the rRNA. In these cases, the antibiotic target is subjected to enzymatic modification rather than genetic mutation, and in many instances the resistance enzymes are readily mobilized among pathogens. Understanding the enzymes responsible for these modifications is crucial to combat resistance. Here, we review our current understanding of enzymatic modification of antibiotic targets as well as discuss efforts to combat these resistance mechanisms.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
