NOVEL TARGETS FOR THE IDENTIFICATION OF ANTIBIOTICS THAT ARENOT SUSCEPTIBLE TO ANTIBIOTIC RESISTANCE

摘要

To identify conserved and variable regions of the 16 S rRNA, an instant evolution experiment was performed on the entire 16 S rRNA. Analysis of thes e mutants identified regions that are required for function. These conserved sequences may be used as targets for pharmaceuticals that are taxonomically specific and which are refractory to the development of drug resistance.
