Abstract excerpt
cysB and cysE strains were obtained as spontaneous mecillinam-resistant mutants of Salmonella typhimurium. The resistance to mecillinam was caused by the cys mutations which also conferred tolerance to lethal cell shape mutations. Most, but not all, cysB and cysE mutations from other origins displayed the same behavior. Resistance was abolished by O- and N-acetylserine in cysE mutants; by thiosulfate, sulfite,...
