Abstract excerpt
Clinical isolates of Enterobacteriaceae with reduced susceptibilities to cephalosporins were collected from 1993 to 2000. The organisms were screened for the extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) phenotype, and plasmid extracts were screened for genetic markers by hybridization. A bla(TEM) probe was derived from pUC19; other probes were derived from pACM1, the plasmid responsible for the first known appearance...
