Abstract excerpt
We investigated the relationship between susceptibility to beta-lactam antibiotics and variation in the major outer membrane protein P2 (OmpP2; also called porin) of persistent nonencapsulated Haemophilus influenzae isolated from cystic fibrosis patients. Nine OmpP2 variants were selected from two distinct H. influenzae strains from two patients extensively treated with beta-lactam antibiotics. The variants...
