Drug Resistance Data Categorized by Drug

Approved Drug(s) 10 drug(s) in total

Amoxicillin

Drug Resistance Data Categorized by Their Corresponding Mechanisms

Irregularity in Drug Uptake and Drug Efflux (IDUE)

Key Molecule: Outer membrane porin (OMP38) [1], [2]

• Resistant Disease: Melioidosis [ICD-11: 1C42.0]
• Molecule Alteration: Expression; Up-regulation
• Resistant Drug: Amoxicillin
• Experimental Note: Identified from the Human Clinical Data
• In Vitro Model: Escherichia coli; 668369
• In Vitro Model: Escherichia coli BL21(DE3); 469008
• In Vitro Model: Burkholderia pseudomallei isolates; 28450
• Experiment for Molecule Alteration: Whole genome sequence assay
• Experiment for Drug Resistance: Broth microdilution method assay
• Mechanism Description: Bps is highly resistant to many antimicrobial agents and this resistance may result from the low drug permeability of outer membrane proteins, known as porins.An Escherichia coli strain defective in most porins, but expressing BpsOmp38, exhibited considerably lower antimicrobial susceptibility than the control strain. In addition, mutation of Tyr119, the most prominent pore-lining residue in BpsOmp38, markedly altered membrane permeability, substitution with Ala (mutant BpsOmp38Y119A) enhanced uptake of the antimicrobial agents, while substitution with Phe (mutant BpsOmp38Y119F) inhibited uptake.
