Nucleotide Sequence and Characterization of a Novel Cefotaxime-Hydrolyzing β-Lactamase (CTX-M-10) Isolated in Spain
1 Feb 2001
Abstract excerpt
A cefotaxime-resistant, ceftazidime-susceptible Escherichia coli isolate was obtained from a patient with sepsis in 1997, from which a beta-lactamase with a pI of 8.1 was cloned. Cephaloridine and cefotaxime relative hydrolysis rates were 167 and 81, respectively (penicillin G rate = 100), whereas ceftazidime hydrolysis was not detected. The nucleotide sequence revealed a bla gene related to that coding for...
