Abstract excerpt
We investigated the cell surface localization of the atl gene products of Staphylococcus aureus exposed to a lytic concentration (4 MIC) of penicillin G (PCG) by means of immunoelectron microscopy using anti-62-kDa N-acetylmuramyl-L-alanine amidase or anti-51-kDa endo-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase immunoglobulin G. Protein A-gold conjugates reacting with antigen-antibody complex localized at sites of defects of...
