摘要: Cytoplasmic precursors of the peptidoglycan biosynthetic pathway were purified from vancomycin-treated, glycopeptide-sensitive and -resistant strains Enterococcus faecium. Resistance was due to production a modified precursor, UDP-MurNAc-l-Ala-d-Glu-l-Lys-d-Ala-d-lactate, where lactate identified on basis mass precursor its ability act as substrate for d-lactate dehydrogenase after release precursor. The presence residue instead d-alanine in terminal position would hinder formation vancomycin-precursor complex, without preventing incorporation into mature peptidoglycan.
