Characterization of a 38 kDa penicillin-binding protein and its possible involvement in maintaining stationary-phase cells of Shigella dysenteriae.

This paper reports the first attempt to characterize the penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) of Shigella dysenteriae, an important human pathogen. The PBP pattern of the membranes of S. dysenteriae closely resembles that of Escherichia coli membranes. A 38 kDa PBP which is an important target for the penem SCH34343, the cephamycin cefoxitin and the oxacephem moxalactam, has been purified. This PBP is immunologically related to a PBP of similar molecular mass in E. coli and is present at high levels in stationary-phase cells of S. dysenteriae.

Progressive extreme biatrial enlargement following mitral valve replacement.

Patients with mitral valve disease and extreme enlargement of the left atrium usually exhibit significant decrease in chamber size following corrective mitral valve surgery. We describe a patient in whom extreme right and left atrial enlargement developed, and progressed following mitral valve replacement, with no evidence of prosthetic valve malfunction or tricuspid valve disease.
