[[Chloramphenicol acetyltransferase]] (CAT) is an enzyme which makes bacteria resistant to chloramphenicol. It attaches acetyl from acetyl-CoA to chloramphenicol thus preventing it from binding to the ribosome. Additional details in [[Chloramphenicol Acetyltransferase Type III]].<ref name="Ad">PMID:2187098</ref>
