6-O-Nucleotidyltransferase: an aminoglycoside-modifying enzyme specific for streptomycin/streptidine [PDF]
, 2016 Aminoglycosides are especially useful for the treatment of hospital-acquired infections. The main problem for the application of these antibiotics is the presence of bacterial resistance enzymes, in particular, nucleotidyltransferases (ANTs).
