Characterization of the first class D β-lactamases in Gram-positive bacteria, including the Bacillaceae family, shows that one, BPU-1, is capable of hydrolyzing a wide variety of β-lactam antibiotics and has a unique substrate-binding mode. Production

In the case of Gram-positive bacteria no clear Tat-specific chaperones have as yet been identified. Nevertheless, yeast two-hybrid (Y2H) studies performed with the B. subtilis Tat proteins against a library of proteins have suggested a number of Tat-interacting partners with potential chaperone or...

3. Nanoparticles to counteract AMR in Gram-positive bacteria 3.1. Introduction to nanoparticles Despite a certain disparity in definitions (Boholm and Arvidsson, 2016), the word ‘nanomaterial’ (NM) defines materials where more than 50 % of the constituent particles have at least one dimension in...
Since Gram-positive bacteria such as Streptomyces lividans do not have an outer membrane, secreted proteins are directly released into the culture medium, and therefore, are considered potentially interesting hosts. Streptomycetes, soil-dwelling bacteria belonging to the phylum Actinobacteria, have a GC-...
Virginiamycin acetyltransferase (Vat) enzymes are resistance proteins that provide protection against streptogramins2, potent antibiotics against Gram-positive bacteria that inhibit the bacterial ribosome3. Owing to the challenge of selectively modifying the chemically complex, 23-membered macrocyclic scaffold...
