Abstract excerpt
The contribution of beta-lactamase production to beta-lactam antibiotic resistance was examined in an Aeromonas caviae mutant strain, selected in vitro by cefotaxime and derived from a wild-type strain isolated in our laboratory from crude sewage. Both strains produced beta-lactamase. The mutant strain (AC7m) produced beta-lactamase constitutively, in contrast to the parental strain (AC7), which was inducible by...
