Abstract

Tigemonam and temocillin, but not aztreonam, bound to penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) 1a and 3 of Escherichia coli with apparent improved affinity when challenged with benzylpenicillin at lowered temperatures. Half times for deacylation of the tigemonam-PBP complexes were shorter than were those of the corresponding aztreonam-PBP complexes. The implications of the routine testing of PBP affinities are discussed.
