Predicting β-lactam susceptibility from the genome of Streptococcus pneumoniae and other mitis group streptococci

IntroductionFor Streptococcus pneumoniae, β-lactam susceptibility can be predicted from the amino acid sequence of the penicillin-binding proteins PBP1a, PBP2b, and PBP2x. The combination of PBP-subtypes provides a PBP-profile, which correlates to a phenotypic minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC)....
