Two kinds of spherical mutants, mrdA and mrdB mutants, have been isolated from Escherichia coli strain K12. The mrdA mutants have thermosensitive penicillin-binding protein 2, while the mrdB mutants have normal penicillin-binding proteins. Both kinds of mutants form spherical cells at 42°C and are resistant to the amidinopenicillin, mecillinam, at the same temperature. The two mutations have been mapped very close to lip at 14.2min (revised chromosome linkage map, 1980) on the E. coli chromosome. Both mutations cause supersensitivities of cell growth to various β-lactam antibiotics, such as ampicillin, cephalexin, cefoxitin and nocardicin A at 42°C.
