Alteration in the binding of bacterial penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) to β-lactams is important in the development of drug resistance. The PBPs of wild type Clostridium perfringens ATCC 13124 and three β-lactam-resistant mutants were compared for the ability to bind to a fluorescent penicillin, BOCILLIN FL. The binding of the high molecular weight protein PBP1, a transpeptidase, to BOCILLIN FL was reduced in all of the resistant strains. In contrast, the binding of BOCILLIN FL to a low molecular weight protein, PBP6, a D-
