Carbapenem Resistance in Escherichia coli Associated with Plasmid-Determined CMY-4 β-Lactamase Production and Loss of an Outer Membrane Protein
1 May 1999
Abstract excerpt
Three cefoxitin-resistant Escherichia coli isolates from stool specimens of a patient with leukemia were either resistant, intermediate, or sensitive to imipenem. Conjugation experiments showed that cefoxitin resistance, but not imipenem resistance, was transferable. All isolates were shown by isoelectric focusing to produce two beta-lactamases with isoelectric points of 5.4 (TEM-1, confirmed by sequencing of a...
