Abstract
Background: Aminoglycoside antibiotics cause misreading during mRNA translation. Results: Aminoglycoside action resulted in misfolding of newly synthesized proteins, and chaperonins helped Escherichia coli cope with this insult. Conclusion: Chaperonins fight aminoglycoside-induced protein misfolding. Significance: The study shows how chaperones can increase bacterial tolerance to aminoglycoside antibiotics.
