Penicillin binding protein 4 (PBP4) can provide high-level β-lactam resistance in A series of missense and promoter mutations associated with were detected in strains that displayed high-level resistance. We show here that the missense mutations facilitate the β-lactam resistance mediated by PBP4 and the promoter mutations lead to overexpression of Our results also suggest a cooperative interplay among PBPs for β-lactam resistance.
青霉素结合蛋白 4(PBP4)可提供高水平的β-内酰胺耐药性,与高水平耐药相关的一系列错义和启动子突变在菌株中被检测到。我们在这里表明,错义突变促进了 PBP4 介导的β-内酰胺耐药性,启动子突变导致 的过度表达。我们的结果还表明 PBPs 之间存在协同作用,以产生β-内酰胺耐药性。
