Abstract excerpt
We tested the impact of individual PBP 5 mutations on expression of ampicillin resistance in Enterococcus faecium using a shuttle plasmid designed to facilitate expression of cloned pbp5 in ampicillin-susceptible E. faecium D344SRF. Substitutions that had been implicated in contributing to the resistance of clinical strains conferred only modest levels of resistance when they were present as single point...
