Penicillin-resistant isolates of Neisseria-lactamica produce altered forms of penicillin-binding protein-2 that arose by interspecies horizontal gene-transfer [PDF]

, 1991
Isolates of Neisseria lactamica that have increased resistance to penicillin have emerged in recent years. Resistance to penicillin was shown to be due to the production of altered forms of penicillin-binding protein 2 (PBP 2) that have reduced affinity ...
