Molecular insights into antibiotic resistance - how a binding protein traps albicidin

The potent antibacterial compound albicidin is synthesized by the plant-pathogenic bacterium Xanthomonas albilineans. Here the authors employ a multidisciplinary approach and provide structural and mechanistic insights into how the drug-binding protein AlbA confers albicidin resistance to Klebsiella...
