Abstract excerpt
The penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) of ATTC Type Strains of nine species of the Bacteroides fragilis group were visualized by gel electrophoresis and subsequent fluorography. Each species had a distinctive PBP pattern, although variation within species was seen. Generally, five PBPs could be v...
