Oxydifficidin, a potent Neisseria gonorrhoeae antibiotic due to DedA assisted uptake and ribosomal protein RplL sensitivity

J. Kan, A. Morales, Y. Hernandez, M. A. Ternei, C. Lemetre, L. W. Maclntyre, N. Biais, S. F. Brady

This study identifies oxydifficidin as a potent antibiotic against Neisseria gonorrhoeae, effective against drug-resistant strains, due to DedA-mediated uptake and sensitivity to ribosomal protein RplL.
