The sequences have 18 different mutation patterns and were classified into two groups on the basis of amino acid substitutions deduced from the nucleotide sequences located between bp 960 and 1618 of the\n            <jats:italic>ftsI<\/jats:italic>\n            gene. In group I strains (\n            <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n            = 7), His-517 was substituted for Arg-517. In group II strains (\n            <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n            = 101), Lys-526 was substituted for Asn-526. In subgroup IIa (\n            <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n            = 5;\n            <jats:italic>H. influenzae<\/jats:italic>\n            ATCC 49247), the only observed substitution was Lys-526 for Asn-526; in subgroup IIb (\n            <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n            = 56), Val-502 was substituted for Ala-502 (\n            <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n            = 13), along with several other substitutions: Asn-350 for Asp-350 (\n            <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n            = 15), Asn-350 for Asp-350 and Glu-490 for Gly-490 (\n            <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n            = 14), and Asn-350 for Asp-350 and Ser-437 for Ala-437 (\n            <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n            = 5). In subgroup IIc (\n            <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n            = 25), Thr-502 was substituted for Ala-502. In subgroup IId, Val-449 was substituted for Ile-449 (\n            <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n            = 15). The MICs of \u03b2-lactam antibiotics for the 108 strains were to 8 to 16 times the MICs for susceptible strains. The strains, isolated from both adults and children, were analyzed for genetic relationship by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis and by determination of\n            <jats:italic>ftsI<\/jats:italic>\n            sequence phylogeny. Both analyses revealed the lack of clonality and the heterogeneity of the strains, but some clusters suggest the spread and\/or persistence of a limited number of strains of the same pulsotype and pattern of amino acid substitutions. Reduced susceptibility to \u03b2-lactam, brought about by mutations of the\n            <jats:italic>ftsI<\/jats:italic>\n            gene, is becoming a frequent phenomenon, affecting both strains that produce \u03b2-lactamase and those that do not. The level of resistance remains low but opens the way to greater resistance in the future.\n          <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1128\/aac.46.7.2208-2218.2002","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2002,7,28]],"date-time":"2002-07-28T23:07:23Z","timestamp":1027897643000},"page":"2208-2218","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1128\/asmj-crossmark-policy-page","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":168,"title":["Diversity of \u03b2-Lactam Resistance-Conferring Amino Acid Substitutions in Penicillin-Binding Protein 3 of\n            <i>Haemophilus influenzae<\/i>"],"prefix":"10.1128","volume":"46","author":[{"given":"Henri","family":"Dabernat","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratoire de Microbiologie, Centre National de Re\u0301fe\u0301rence des Haemophilus influenzae"},{"name":"Faculte\u0301 de Me\u0301decine Purpan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Catherine","family":"Delmas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratoire de Microbiologie, Centre National de Re\u0301fe\u0301rence des Haemophilus influenzae"},{"name":"Faculte\u0301 de Me\u0301decine Purpan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Martine","family":"Seguy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratoire de Microbiologie, Centre National de Re\u0301fe\u0301rence des Haemophilus influenzae"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Roseline","family":"Pelissier","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculte\u0301 de Me\u0301decine Purpan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Genevieve","family":"Faucon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculte\u0301 de Me\u0301decine Purpan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Safia","family":"Bennamani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculte\u0301 de Me\u0301decine Purpan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Christophe","family":"Pasquier","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratoire de Virologie, Ho\u0302pital Purpan"},{"name":"Faculte\u0301 des Sciences Pharmaceutiques, Toulouse, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"235","reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_2_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1128\/AAC.45.5.1585-1588.2001"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_3_2","first-page":"279","year":"1980","unstructured":"Bell, S.
