Glycopeptide Antibiotic Resistance Genes: Distribution and Function in the Producer Actinomycetes

Glycopeptide antibiotics (GPAs) are considered drugs of “last resort” for the treatment of life-threatening infections caused by relevant Gram-positive pathogens (enterococci, staphylococci, and clostridia). Driven by the issue of the never-stopping evolution of bacterial antibiotic resistance, rese...
