TLDR
By far the most widespread mechanism of resistance to AGs is the inactivation of these antibiotics by AG-modifying enzymes, and an overview of these mechanisms is provided.Abstract:
Aminoglycoside (AG) antibiotics are used to treat many Gram-negative and some Gram-positive infections and, importantly, multidrug-resistant tuberculosis. Among various bacterial species, resistance to AGs arises through a variety of intrinsic and acquired mechanisms. The bacterial cell wall serves as a natural barrier for small molecules such as AGs and may be further fortified via acquired mutations. Efflux pumps work to expel AGs from bacterial cells, and modifications here too may cause further resistance to AGs. Mutations in the ribosomal target of AGs, while rare, also contribute to resistance. Of growing clinical prominence is resistance caused by ribosome methyltransferases. By far the most widespread mechanism of resistance to AGs is the inactivation of these antibiotics by AG-modifying enzymes. We provide here an overview of these mechanisms by which bacteria become resistant to AGs and discuss their prevalence and potential for clinical relevance.read more

TL;DR: The conformation related to the exocyclic bond in ring I of 6'-homologated 4,5-disubstituted 2-deoxystreptamine class aminoglycoside antibiotics was predicted and was borne out by NMR analysis of newly synthesized derivatives in D2O at pD5.

Rapid differentiation of antibiotic-susceptible and -resistant bacteria through mediated extracellular electron transfer
TL;DR: In this article , mediated extracellular electron transfer was used as a direct method to classify antibiotic-susceptible and -resistant bacteria, and the method was able to consistently classify strains as antibiotic-resistant or resistant in <90 min for methodology development and <150 min for blinded tests.
