Abstract excerpt
The heat shock proteins (HSPs) of Escherichia coli were artificially induced in cells containing the wild-type rpoH+ gene under control of a tac promoter. At 30 degrees C, expression of HSPs produced cells that were resistant to lysis by cephaloridine and cefsulodin, antibiotics that bind penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) 1a and 1b. This resistance could be reversed by the simultaneous addition of mecillinam, a...
