Streptococcus pyogenes pbp2x Mutation Confers Reduced Susceptibility to β-lactam antibiotics
2019
: Two near-identical clinical Streptococcus pyogenes isolates of emm subtype emm43.4 with a pbp2x missense mutation (T553K) were detected. Minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) for ampicillin and amoxicillin were 8-fold higher, and the MIC for cefotaxime was 3-fold higher than for near-isogenic control isolates, consistent with a first-step in developing β-lactam resistance.
