Journal Article
Chio, H., Guest, E. E., Hobman, J. L., Dottorini, T., Hirst, J. D., & Stekel, D. J. (2023). Predicting bioactivity of antibiotic metabolites by molecular docking and dynamics. Journal of Molecular Graphics and Modelling, 123, Article 108508. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jmgm.2023.108508

Antibiotics enter the environment through waste streams, where they can exert selective pressure for antimicrobial resistance in bacteria. However, many antibiotics are excreted as partly metabolized forms, or can be subject to partial breakdown in w...

© 2020 Elsevier Inc. One promising strategy to combat antimicrobial resistance is to use bacteriophages that attach to the sex pili produced by transmissible antimicrobial resistance (AMR) plasmids, infect AMR bacteria and select for loss of the AMR...
