Abstract excerpt
AIMS: The aim of this study was to analyse the nucleotide sequences of regions encoding the penicillin-binding domains of pbp1A, pbp2B and pbp2X genes and murM alleles from 14 selected amoxicillin-resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae isolates (MICs 8-16 mg/L) obtained in Spain. METHODS: PFGE and dideoxynucleotide chain termination sequencing were used. RESULTS: Analysis of PFGE profiles showed that the...
