Response of Pseudomonas cepacia to beta-Lactam antibiotics: utilization of penicillin G as the carbon source

W Beckman et al. J Bacteriol. 1979 Dec.

Abstract

Pseudomonas cepacia utilized penicillin G as the sole source of carbon and energy. We report here an unexplained correlation between lysine auxotrophy and beta-lactamase deficiency, resulting in loss of capacity to utilize penicillin.
