Biochemical and structural characterization of the subclass B1 metallo-β-lactamase VIM-4.

abstract：:The outer membrane of mycobacteria presents an effective permeability barrier for many antibiotics. Transport pathways across this membrane are unknown for most drugs. Here, we examined which antibiotics utilize the porin pathway across the outer membrane of the model organism Mycobacterium smegmatis. Deletion of the ...
