Bacteria3
Fusidic acid1
  • Prompted by a previous observation that fphH expression was upregulated in response to fusidic acid, we found that FphH can deacetylate this ribosome-targeting antibiotic, but the lack of FphH function did not infer major changes in antibiotic susceptibility. (bvsalud.org)
Clinically1

Susceptible1
  • Cells expressing heteroresistance grow more slowly than the oxacillin-susceptible population and may be missed at temperatures above 35°C.
