Abstract
Involvement of Escherichia coli penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) in induction of the cloned ampC Citrobacter freundii beta-lactamase by 6-aminopenicillanic acid was investigated. The enzyme was not inducible at 42 degrees C in a mutant thermosensitive for expression of PBP 2. The results imply that PBP 2 is involved in the process leading to induction of ampC.This publication has 11 references indexed in Scilit:
