Mutations associated with linezolid resistance within the V domain of 23S rRNA are annotated using an numbering system. The 23S rRNA gene varies in length, nucleotide sequence, and copy number among bacterial species. Consequently, this numbering system is not intuitive and can lead to confusion when mutation sites are being located using whole-genome sequencing data. Using the mutation G2576T as an example, we demonstrate the difficulties associated with using the numbering system.
与 23S rRNA V 结构域中的利奈唑胺耐药相关的突变使用数字编号系统进行注释。23S rRNA 基因在长度、核苷酸序列和拷贝数方面在不同细菌物种中存在差异。因此,这种编号系统不直观,并且在使用全基因组测序数据定位突变位点时可能会导致混淆。我们以突变 G2576T 为例,展示了使用数字编号系统所面临的困难。
