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

Antibiogram of burn wound isolates at Masina hospital, Mumbai, India: A 12-year descriptive cross sectional study
TL;DR: A routine microbiological surveillance prior to administrating an antibiotic, a well established infection control department and regular reporting of changing antibiotic trends will help to overcome the battle against emerging multi drug resistant organism, thereby having more successful treatment outcome in burn patients.

TL;DR: The studies define the critical features of m7G1405 methyltransferase-substrate recognition and distinguish at least two distinct, functionally critical contributions of the tested enzyme residues: 30S binding affinity and stabilizing a binding-induced 16S rRNA conformation necessary for G1405 modification.
