Abstract
Cloning, sequencing, and biochemical analysis identified a novel AmpC-type beta-lactamase conferring resistance to extended-spectrum cephalosporins in an Escherichia coli clinical isolate. This enzyme, exhibiting 14 amino acid substitutions compared to a reference AmpC cephalosporinase of E. coli, hydrolyzed ceftazidime and cefepime significantly.Entities:
