Life cycle Infection Lambda phage J protein interaction with the LamB porin Lambda phage is a non-contractile tailed phage, meaning during an infection event it cannot 'force' its DNA through a bacterial cell membrane. Source: Internet
The J protein interacts with the maltose outer membrane porin (the product of the lamB gene) of E. coli, citation a porin molecule, which is part of the maltose operon. Source: Internet
AmpC AmpC-producing strains are typically resistant to oxyimino-beta lactams and to cephamycins and are susceptible to carbapenems ; however, diminished porin expression can make such a strain carbapenem-resistant as well. Source: Internet
Several reports have documented failure of cephamycin therapy as a result of resistance due to porin loss. Source: Internet
