Introduction to Antibiotic Resistance
The established mechanisms of antibiotic resistance include the following:
- Enzymes that inactivate the antibiotic [famously (a). beta-lactamases that destroy penicillins and related compounds and (b) enzymes that acetylate chloramphenicol].
- Proteins that keep antibiotics out of the cell (by blocking the outer-membrane pores).
- Membrane-embedded channel proteins that actively pump antibiotics out of the cell.
- Proteins (and RNAs) with altered drug binding sites. (Vancomycin resistance comes from a switch in the chemistry of the cell-wall cross-linking peptide). This category also includes mutations in ribosomal RNA -- ribosomes are one of the main targets of both prokaryote- and eukaryote-directed antibiotics.
- Proteins that enable substitution of an alternative metabolic pathway (as in the case of sulfonamide resistance).
