Penicillin-binding proteins of bdellovibrios [PDF]
Journal of Bacteriology, 1988 We examined the predacious gram-negative bacterium Bdellovibrio bacteriovorous 109J and free-living strains 109J-A1 and 109J-KA1 derived therefrom for penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs). We compared their PBPs with those of the host bacterium, Escherichia coli, and with those of a facultatively predacious bdellovibrio, B. stolpii UKi2, grown axenically.

Penicillin-binding proteins in bacteria [PDF]
Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, 1980 The penicilllin-binding proteins (PBPs) of several gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria have been examined. The results indicate that: (i) PBPs are membrane proteins with molecular weights ranging from 40,000 to 120,000. When extracted with Triton X-100 from sonicated cells, they appear to fall into two patterns: one found in rods and the other in ...

Penicillin-Binding Proteins in Leptospira interrogans [PDF]
Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, 2001 ABSTRACT The Leptospira interrogans ponA and pbpB genes were isolated and characterized. ponA and pbpB encode the penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) 1 and 3, respectively.

Construction and Activity Testing of a Modular Fusion Peptide against Enterococcus faecalis
Antibiotics, 2023 The emergence of antibiotic resistance in enterococci is a great concern encountered worldwide. Almost all enterococci exhibit significant levels of resistance to penicillin, ampicillin, semi-synthetic penicillin and most cephalosporins, primarily due to

Facilitation of penicillin haptenation to serum proteins. [PDF]
, 1993 Traditionally, penicillin binding to serum proteins was believed to be a passive chemical process; however, it appears to be facilitated by serum factors.

Penicillin-binding proteins in Clostridium perfringens [PDF]
Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, 1981 The penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) of Clostridium perfringens were studied. Six PBPs ranging in molecular weight from approximately 42,000 to 100,000 were detected in the cytoplasmic membrane. The relative affinities of the PBPs for 16 beta-lactam antibiotics were determined.
