Abstract excerpt
A total of 12 non-epidemiologically related clinical isolates of Streptococcus mitis that showed different levels of resistance to penicillin were studied. Membrane-protein profiles and penicillin-binding protein (PBP) patterns showed a great polymorphism; and patterns of 4-7 PBPs, with sizes that ranged from approximately 101 kDa to approximately 40 kDa, were detected in each strain. No association could be...
