Role of Penicillin-Binding Protein 5 in Expression of Ampicillin Resistance and Peptidoglycan Structure in Enterococcus faecium
1 Sept 2001
Abstract excerpt
The contribution of penicillin-binding protein 5 (PBP 5) to intrinsic and acquired beta-lactam resistance was investigated by constructing isogenic strains of Enterococcus faecium producing different PBP 5. The pbp5 genes from three E. faecium clinical isolates (BM4107, D344, and H80721) were cloned into the shuttle vector pAT392 and introduced into E. faecium D344S, a spontaneous derivative of E. faecium D344...
