Molecular peculiarities of the lytA gene isolated from clinical pneumococcal strains that are bile insoluble.

Journal of clinical microbiology - 1 Jul 2002

Obregón Virginia, García Pedro, García Ernesto, Fenoll Asunción, López Rubens, García José L

Abstract excerpt

The autolytic LytA amidase from 12 bile (deoxycholate)-insoluble streptococcal isolates (formerly classified as atypical Streptococcus pneumoniae) showing different antibiotic resistance patterns was studied. These atypical strains, which autolyze at the end of the stationary phase of growth, contain highly divergent lytA alleles (pairwise evolutionary distances of about 20%) compared to the lytA alleles of...
