Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: To characterize the relationship between inactivation of the mrcA gene and β-lactamase expression and β-lactams resistance in Stenotrophomonas maltophilia KJ and to investigate the involvement of ampR, ampN-ampG, ampD(I) and creBC in this. METHODS: The mrcA deletion mutant KJΔmrcA was constructed to investigate the role of this putative penicillin-binding protein 1a (PBP1a) in β-lactamase expression...
