C-Terminal Region of Pseudomonas aeruginosa Outer Membrane Porin OprD Modulates Susceptibility to Meropenem
1 Jun 2001
Abstract excerpt
We investigated the unusual susceptibility to meropenem observed for seven imipenem-resistant clinical isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. These strains were genetically closely related, expressed OprD, as determined by Western blot analyses, and were resistant to imipenem (>5 microg/ml) but susceptible to meropenem (<1 microg/ml). The oprD genes from two isolates were entirely sequenced, and their deduced...
