Optical microscopy reveals the dynamic nature of <i>B. pseudomallei</i> morphology during β-lactam antimicrobial susceptibility testing
2020-01-14
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Background</h4> In Gram-negative species, β-lactam antibiotics target penicillin binding proteins (PBPs) resulting in morphological alterations of bacterial cells. Observations of antibiotic-induced cell morphology changes can rapidly and accurately differentiate drug susceptible from resistant bacterial strains; however, resistant cells do not always remain unchanged. Burkholderia pseudomallei is a Gram-neg...
