Origin and molecular epidemiology of penicillin-binding-protein-mediated resistance to beta-lactam antibiotics.

C G Dowson1, T J Coffey, B G Spratt.   

Abstract

Resistance to beta-lactam antibiotics in some naturally transformable bacterial pathogens has arisen by interspecies recombinational events that have generated hybrid penicillin-binding proteins with reduced affinity for the antibiotics. This type of resistance is of particular concern in pneumococci, in which it is increasing worldwide.
