Aminoglycosides occupy a special niche amongst antibiotics in part because of their broad spectrum of action. Bacterial resistance is however menacing to render these drugs obsolete. A significant amount of work has been devoted to understand and overcome aminoglycoside resistance. This mini-review will discuss aminoglycoside-modifying enzymes (AMEs), with a special emphasis on the efforts to comprehend and block resistance caused by aminoglycoside 6'--acetyltransferase (AAC(6')).
氨基糖苷类抗生素在抗生素中占据着特殊的地位,部分原因在于其广泛的抗菌谱。然而,细菌耐药性正威胁着使这些药物过时。大量工作致力于理解和克服氨基糖苷类抗生素耐药性。本综述将讨论氨基糖苷类修饰酶(AMEs),特别强调对理解和阻断由氨基糖苷6'-乙酰转移酶(AAC(6'))引起的耐药性所做的努力。
