AmpC cephalosporinase hyperproduction in Acinetobacter baumannii clinical strains
1 Sept 2003
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To compare the genetic environments of ampC genes in different Acinetobacter baumannii isolates showing different levels of beta-lactam resistance. METHODS: The patterns of beta-lactam resistance and beta-lactamase production were investigated for 42 A. baumannii clinical strains. The MICs of various beta-lactams were determined in the presence or absence of the class C cephalosporinase inhibitor,...
