Abstract excerpt
A series of Escherichia coli strains were selected for increasing resistance to sulfathiazole. Resistance occurred in seven increments, suggesting the accumulation of several mutations that contributed to overall sulfathiazole resistance. All of the resistant strains had a sulfathiazole-resistant dihydropteroate synthase with a Pro to Ser substitution at amino acid position 64. Overproduction of the wild-type...
