Up to now, the quantitative estimation of low outer membrane permeability by the method of Zimmermann and Rosselet was difficult because of the secreted and cell surface-associated \u03b2-lactamases. The method presented here uses the acylation of a highly sensitive periplasmic penicillin-binding protein (PBP) (BlaR-CTD) to assess the rate of \u03b2-lactam penetration into the periplasm. The method is dedicated to measurement of low permeability and is only valid when the diffusion rate through the outer membrane is rate limiting. Cytoplasmic membrane associated PBPs do not interfere since they are acylated after the very sensitive BlaR-CTD. This method was used to measure the permeability of \u03b2-lactamase-deficient strains of\n            <jats:italic>Enterobacter cloacae<\/jats:italic>\n            and\n            <jats:italic>Enterobacter aerogenes<\/jats:italic>\n            to benzylpenicillin, ampicillin, carbenicillin, cefotaxime, aztreonam, and cephacetrile. Except for that of cephacetrile, the permeability coefficients were equal to or below 10\n            <jats:sup>\u22127<\/jats:sup>\n            cm\/s. For cephacetrile, carbenicillin, and benzylpenicillin, the outer membrane of\n            <jats:italic>E. cloacae<\/jats:italic>\n            was 20 to 60 times less permeable than that of\n            <jats:italic>Escherichia coli<\/jats:italic>\n            , whereas for cefotaxime, aztreonam, and ampicillin it was, respectively, 400, 1,000, and 700 times less permeable. The permeability coefficient for aztreonam is the lowest ever measured (\n            <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n            = 3.2 \u00d7 10\n            <jats:sup>\u22129<\/jats:sup>\n            cm\/s). Using these values, the MICs for a \u03b2-lactamase-overproducing strain of\n            <jats:italic>E. cloacae<\/jats:italic>\n            were successfully predicted, demonstrating the validity of the method.\n          <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1128\/aac.46.9.2901-2907.2002","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2002,10,1]],"date-time":"2002-10-01T19:36:19Z","timestamp":1033500979000},"page":"2901-2907","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1128\/asmj-crossmark-policy-page","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":30,"title":["Method for Estimation of Low Outer Membrane Permeability to \u03b2-Lactam Antibiotics"],"prefix":"10.1128","volume":"46","author":[{"given":"Bernard","family":"Lakaye","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratoire d'Enzymologie and Centre d'Inge\u0301nierie des Prote\u0301ines, Universite\u0301 de Lie\u0300ge, Institut de Chimie, B-4000 Lie\u0300ge, Belgium"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alain","family":"Dubus","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratoire d'Enzymologie and Centre d'Inge\u0301nierie des Prote\u0301ines, Universite\u0301 de Lie\u0300ge, Institut de Chimie, B-4000 Lie\u0300ge, Belgium"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Bernard","family":"Joris","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratoire d'Enzymologie and Centre d'Inge\u0301nierie des Prote\u0301ines, Universite\u0301 de Lie\u0300ge, Institut de Chimie, B-4000 Lie\u0300ge, Belgium"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jean-Marie","family":"Fre\u0300re","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratoire d'Enzymologie and Centre d'Inge\u0301nierie des Prote\u0301ines, Universite\u0301 de Lie\u0300ge, Institut de Chimie, B-4000 Lie\u0300ge, Belgium"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"235","reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_2_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0378-1119(83)90197-X"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1128\/AAC.35.1.68"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1128\/AAC.35.1.73"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"51","DOI":"10.1093\/jac\/17.1.51","volume":"17","year":"1986","unstructured":"Curtis, N.
