Mechanisms of acquired penicillin-resistance in Streptomyces cacaoi. Role of penicillin-binding proteins in penicillin resistant mutants.
Several mutants isolated after N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine mutagenesis of Streptomyces cacaoi strain KCCS-0352, were resistant to benzylpenicillin ranging in concentration from 1,000 to 5,000 micrograms/ml (4- to 20-fold more resistant than the parent). These mutants also acquired resistance to mecillinam, cephamycin C and methicillin. The affinity for beta-lactams of penicillin-bindin...
متن کاملPenicillin-resistant and penicillin-tolerant mutants of group A Streptococci.
Penicillin-resistant and penicillin-tolerant mutants have been isolated from group A streptococci mutagenized by ethyl methane sulfonate. The resistant mutants had an elevated minimal growth inhibitory concentration for benzylpenicillin (minimal inhibitory concentration, 0.2 microgram/ml, as compared with the minimal inhibitory concentration of 0.006 microgram/ml in the penicillin-susceptible p...
متن کاملAltered penicillin-binding components in penicillin-resistant mutants of Bacillus subtilis.
Penicillin- (cloxacillin-) resistant mutants of Bacillus subtilis were isolated in a stepwise fashion and the five penicillin-binding components (PBCs) in each were examined to determine which of the proteins, if any, corresponds to the penicillin killing site. PBCs II and V were previously eliminated as the likely penicillin targett. In the present work, PBC IV showed no change in sensitivity ...
متن کاملPenicillin-resistant mechanisms in Pseudomonas aeruginosa: binding of penicillin to Pseudomonas aeruginosa KM 338.
A comparison of the binding of radioactive penicillin G to whole cells and the membrane fraction derived from Pseudomonas aeruginosa KM 338 was made. This organism has intrinsic resistance to penicillin. The binding to the membrane fraction which catalyzed peptidoglycan synthesis followed saturation type kinetics and saturation was achieved at approximately 2 nmol of penicillin G per ml, wherea...
متن کاملVisualization of penicillin-binding proteins during sporulation of Streptomyces griseus.
We used fluorescein-tagged beta-lactam antibiotics to visualize penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) in sporulating cultures of Streptomyces griseus. Six PBPs were identified in membranes prepared from growing and sporulating cultures. The binding activity of an 85-kDa PBP increased fourfold by 10 to 12 h of sporulation, at which time the sporulation septa were formed. Cefoxitin inhibited the int...
