AsnB is involved in natural resistance of Mycobacterium smegmatis to multiple drugs.

PMID 16377694 · 2006

The study identifies AsnB as a gene involved in the natural resistance of Mycobacterium smegmatis to multiple drugs, including rifampin, erythromycin, novobiocin, and fusidic acid. Disruption of the asnB gene leads to increased sensitivity to these antibiotics.
