  • Title: Lipopolysaccharide recovery restores susceptibility levels towards beta-lactams in Serratia marcescens.
    Author: Palomar J, Puig M, Montilla R, Lorén JG, Viñas M.
    Journal: Microbios; 1995; 82(330):21-6. PubMed ID: 7540714.
    Abstract:
    O-side chain-defective spontaneous mutants of Serratia marcescens, selected by phage resistance, showed lower MICs against various beta-lactams than did their parental strains. The recovery of their ability to produce O-antigen restored the original MIC values, as well as phage susceptibility. The permeability coefficients of wild-type, O- mutants, and revertants, demonstrated that O-antigen modifies the permeability of antibiotics in S. marcescens.
