Abstract excerpt
Beta-lactam antibiotics remain the drugs of choice for treatment of S. pneumoniae infections in spite of growing level of resistance. The formation of S. pneumoniae resistance to these drugs is mediated by modifications of the penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs), the targets of the antibiotic action. A new approach to detection of mutations in PBP1A, 2B and 2X genes based on minisequencing reaction followed by...
