To determine which amino acids in PIB confer increased resistance, we transformed a recipient strain with chimeras of the\n            <jats:italic>\n              por\n              <jats:sub>IB<\/jats:sub>\n            <\/jats:italic>\n            genes from strains FA1090 and FA140 (\n            <jats:italic>penB2<\/jats:italic>\n            ). These studies revealed that two amino acid changes, G120D and A121D, were both necessary and sufficient to confer increased resistance to penicillin and tetracycline. Site-saturation and site-directed mutagenesis of Gly-120 and Ala-121 revealed that both a single mutation, G120K, and the double mutations G120R A121H and G120P A121P also conferred antibiotic resistance to the recipient strain. The identical mutations in PIA increased penicillin and tetracycline resistance either moderately or not at all.
