We investigated the molecular mechanism of 50 penicillin-resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae strains (penicillin: MIC, > or = 0.125 microgram/ml) having neither class A nor class B mutations in the penicillin-binding protein 2B gene (pbp2b). An analysis of the nucleotide sequences of the pbp2b genes from seven strains revealed an unique direct repeat of 9 nucleotides (TGGTATACT) between active-site serine (residue 385) and Ser-X-Asn (residues 442 to 444) motifs. The same insertion was detected in 13 strains.
我们研究了50株对青霉素耐药的肺炎链球菌菌株(青霉素:最低抑菌浓度,≥0.125微克/毫升)的分子机制,这些菌株在青霉素结合蛋白2B基因(pbp2b)中既没有A类突变也没有B类突变。对7株菌株的pbp2b基因核苷酸序列分析显示,在活性位点丝氨酸(第385位残基)和Ser-X-Asn(第442至444位残基)基序之间存在一个独特的9个核苷酸的直接重复序列(TGGTATACT)。在13株菌株中检测到相同的插入序列。
