The discovery of unreported antimicrobial resistance genes (ARGs) remains essential. Here, we report the identification and preliminary characterization of an α/β-hydrolase that inactivates macrolides. This serine-dependent macrolide esterase co-occurs with emerging ARGs in the environment, animal microbiomes, and pathogens.
发现未报告的抗菌药物耐药基因(ARGs)仍然至关重要。在这里,我们报告了一种能够使大环内酯类药物失活的 α/β-水解酶的鉴定和初步特征。这种丝氨酸依赖性的大环内酯酯酶与环境、动物微生物组和病原体中的新兴 ARGs 共同存在。
