Semen A Leyn et al.
Comprehensive knowledge of mechanisms driving the acquisition of antimicrobial resistance is essential for the development of new drugs with minimized resistibility. To gain this knowledge, we combine experimental evolution in a continuous ...
Stalled ribosome rescue factors exert different roles depending on types of antibiotics in Escherichia coli [0.03%]
stalled 核糖体救援因子根据抗生素的类型在大肠杆菌中发挥不同的作用
Mayu Mikami,Hidehiko Shimizu,Norika Iwama et al.
Mayu Mikami et al.
Escherichia coli possesses three stalled-ribosome rescue factors, tmRNA·SmpB (primary factor), ArfA (alternative factor to tmRNA·SmpB), and ArfB. Here, we examined the susceptibility of rescue factor-deficient strains from E. coli SE15 to...
