Expression of the carbapenemase gene (cfiA) in Bacteroides fragilis

1 Dec 2000

Abstract excerpt

Bacteroides fragilis strains were studied to examine carbapenemase gene (cfiA) expression and insertion sequence (IS) element promoters. High-level resistance was associated with high meropenemase activity and IS elements upstream of cfiA. Sequencing revealed two element types; IS1187 and elements related to IS942 and IS1170. The latter was implicated in the conversion to carbapenem resistance in a cfiA-positive...
