| Research Abstract |
K. Kimura, et al. reported that group B streptococcus became reduced susceptible to penicillin by the acquisition of mutations in the penicillin-binding protein(PBP) 2X gene. Among these group B streptococci with reduced penicillin susceptibility(PRGBS), the strain whom the minimum inhibitory concentrations(MICs) of cephalosporin for, become resistant to cephalosporin by the acquisition of mutations not only in PBP2X genes but also in PBP1A genes.
