Synonymous lysine codon usage modification in a mobile antibiotic resistance gene similarly alters protein production in bacterial species with divergent lysine codon usage biases because it removes a duplicate AAA lysine codon.

The paper shows that modifying synonymous lysine codon usage in blaIMP-1 increases protein production across bacterial species with different codon usage biases by reducing ribosomal slippage.

Prediction Of Cephalosporin And Carbapenem Susceptibility In Multi-Drug Resistant Gram-Negative Bacteria Using Liquid Chromatography-Tandem Mass Spectrometry

The paper develops a method to predict cephalosporin and carbapenem susceptibility in Gram-negative bacteria by analyzing protein abundance from clinical samples.
