Abstract
A beta-lactamase gene (cfxA3, 966 bp) was isolated from a beta-lactam-resistant Capnocytophaga ochracea clinical isolate and amplified using primers from the cfxA gene of Bacteroides vulgatus. The MICs of third-generation cephalosporins were much higher than those of the transconjugant Escherichia coli strain. The deduced protein sequence, by comparison with CfxA2 of Prevotella intermedia, had a Y239D substitution and possessed the characteristics of a class A, group 2e beta-lactamase.Entities:
