Compounding this problem is the lack of new drugs, which together threaten our return to the pre-antibiotic era. The objective of this study is to molecularly and functionally characterize a novel and critical mediator of resistance to last-line polymyxin antibiotics, FlpR, which is conserved in numerous medically relevant... |
