Exposure of Neisseria gonorrhoeae to sub-MICs of selected beta-lactam antibiotics caused distortion of normal cell morphology. Analysis of the peptidoglycan indicated that the cells were accumulating increased quantities of disaccharide pentapeptide in their cell walls. The O-acetylated form of the disaccharide pentapeptide was not detected among the major peaks. The correlation of antibiotic binding to gonococcal penicillin-binding protein 2 and accumulation of non-O-acetylated disaccharide pentapeptide suggested an explanation for the previously observed relationship of penicillin-binding protein 2 and O-acetylation of peptidoglycan.
淋病奈瑟菌暴露于选定β-内酰胺抗生素的亚抑菌浓度会导致正常细胞形态扭曲。对肽聚糖的分析表明,细胞在其细胞壁中积累了数量增加的二糖五肽。在主要峰中未检测到二糖五肽的O-乙酰化形式。抗生素与淋球菌青霉素结合蛋白2的结合以及非O-乙酰化二糖五肽的积累之间的相关性,为先前观察到的青霉素结合蛋白2与肽聚糖O-乙酰化之间的关系提供了解释。
