Abstract excerpt
An imipenem-resistant mutant of Proteus mirabilis lacked a 26 kDa outer membrane protein (OMP). It has previously been postulated that this protein is a porin, but the present mutant, which was cross-resistant to mecillinam but not to other beta-lactams, proved as permeable to carbapenems as its...
