Abstract excerpt
It has been shown in enterobacteria that mutations in ampD provoke hyperproduction of chromosomal beta-lactamase, which confers to these organisms high levels of resistance to beta-lactam antibiotics. In this study, we investigated whether this genetic locus was implicated in the altered AmpC beta-lactamase expression of selected clinical isolates and laboratory mutants of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The sequences of...
