Characterization of the membrane sensor PenJ for β-lactam antibodies fromBacillus licheniformisby amino acid substitution [PDF]
The PenJ protein of the penicillinase gene (penP) expression system from Bacillus licheniformis is an antirepressor and membrane receptor for beta-lactam antibiotics. A putative beta-lactam antibiotic binding site including Ser402 and Lys405, which are homologous to the conserved sequence for the beta-lactam binding site (Ser-X-X-Lys) is present.

BackgroundDiabetic patients are at risk of severe urinary tract infections (UTIs). Due to the emerging resistance rates to fluoroquinolones and β-lactams, we aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of β-lactams versus fluoroquinolones as empirical therapy ...

Decreased membrane permeability in a polymyxin B-resistantEscherichia colimutant exhibiting multiple resistance to β-lactams as well as aminoglycosides [PDF]
A laboratory mutant of Escherichia coli stably resistant to more than 36,000 U ml-1 of polymyxin B was isolated. The mutant exhibited moderate increases in minimum inhibitory concentration to fluoroquinolones and bacitracin but high levels of cross-resistance to beta-lactams and aminoglycosides.

High serum β-lactams specific/total IgE ratio is associated with immediate reactions to β-lactams antibiotics. [PDF]
Total serum IgE result from the combination of specific and non-specific pools. High specific/total IgE ratio may reflect high level of allergen-specific IgE on mast cells. No data regarding its applications to drug allergies is available.

The barrier function of the outer membrane ofPseudomonas maltophiliain the diffusion of saccharides and β-lactam antibiotics [PDF]
This paper reports that the efficiency of solute diffusion through the outer membrane of Pseudomonas maltophilia is roughly 3 to 5% of that of Escherichia coli. This is despite the fact that the outer membrane pore(s) is only a little smaller than that of E. coli. These results suggest that P. maltophilia has a low copy number of porin(s).

β-Lactam induction of ISEcp1B-mediated mobilization of the naturally occurringblaCTX-Mβ-lactamase gene ofKluyvera ascorbata [PDF]
ISEcp1B is an insertion element associated with the emerging expanded-spectrum beta-lactamase bla(CTX-M) genes in Enterobacteriaceae. Because ISEcp1B-bla(CTX-M)positive strains may be identified from humans and animals, the ability of this insertion sequence to mobilize the bla(CTX-M-2) gene was tested from its progenitor Kluyvera ascorbata to study ...
