Abstract excerpt
The presence of the alpha-haemolysin secretion genes sensitizes Escherichia coli to vancomycin, a glycopeptide antibiotic that is normally excluded from the Gram-negative envelope (owing to its large size) (M(r) 1400). The selection of vancomycin mutants in strains carrying such genes was found t...
