RESUMO
The outer membrane of imipenem-resistant mutants of Pseudomonas aeruginosa with decreased permeability to imipenem was shown by Western (immuno-) blotting to contain protein D1 and to lack protein D2. Protein D2 was purified and was shown to allow the permeation of imipenem at a rate higher than expected from its molecular weight. Spontaneous imipenem-resistant mutants of P. aeruginosa PAO1 appeared at a frequency of 10(-8) in the laboratory and did not synthesize protein D2. Experiments performed with intact cells carrying plasmid pHN4 containing the gene for L-1 beta-lactamase from Pseudomonas maltophilia showed that this channel could also be used by SM-7338, Sch 33755, and Sch 33440 but apparently not by Sch 34343 or Sch 29482.
