OppA Escherichia coli mutants have osmodependent resistance to aminoglycoside antibiotics
The oligopeptide permease (OppA) protein was found to be missing in the periplasmic fractions of Escherichia coli kanamycin-resistant mutants selected under high osmotic conditions. The growth behavior of one mutant in media containing kanamycin or the toxic peptide triornithine suggests that OppA a...
