Functional Characterization, Mechanism, and Mode of Action of Putative Streptomycin Adenylyltransferase from Serratia marcescens.

ABSTRACT: Nosocomial infections are serious threats to the entire world in healthcare settings. The major causative agents of nosocomial infections are bacterial pathogens, among which Enterobacteriaceae family member Serratia marcescens plays a crucial role. It is a gram-negative opportunistic pathogen, predominantly affecting patients in intensive-care units. The presence of intrinsic genes in S. marcescens led to the development of resistance to antibiotics for survival. Complete scanning of the proteome, including hypothetical and partially annotated proteins, paves the way for a better understanding of potential drug targets. The targeted protein expressed in E. coli BL21 (DE3) pLysS cells has shown complete resistance to aminoglycoside antibiotic streptomycin (>256 MCG). The recombinant protei
