Chromosomal ß-lactamase is packaged into membrane vesicles and secreted from Pseudomonas aeruginosa
a Institute for Medical Microbiology and Immunology, Panum Inst. 24.1, University of Copenhagen, Blegdamsvej 3, 2200 Copenhagen N, Denmark; b Department of Microbiology, University of Guelph, Guelph, Canada
Membrane vesicles were isolated from one ß-lactam-sensitive and three ß-lactam-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa clinical isolates from patients with cystic fibrosis. The presence of the chromosomally encoded ß-lactamase in the membrane vesicles was shown by electron microscopy and enzymatic studies. This is the first report of extracellular secretion of ß-lactamase in P. aeruginosa and it seems that the enzyme is packaged into membrane vesicles.
