Characterization of YdgH: a mediator of beta-lactam susceptibility in Enterobacterales by Jacob E. Lazarus, Matthew K. Waldor, David C. Hooper

“…ABSTRACT Beta-lactam antibiotics are often the treatment of choice for serious bacterial infections. In a previous screen for novel genetic mediators affecting beta-lactam susceptibility, we discovered that deletion of ydgH, a conserved gene of unknown function, leads to increased resistance to beta-lactams, as well as increased susceptibility to detergent compounds. …”
