Abstract

ABSTRACTTAN 1057-resistant Staphylococcus aureusand Escherichia colistrains were selected to elucidate the mechanism of resistance and the mode of action of this dipeptide antibiotic. Cell-free translation with isolated ribosomes and S150 fractions from sensitive and resistant S. aureusstrains demonstrated that alterations in the ribosomes contribute to the resistance of the bacteria.
