Abstract excerpt
The genetic environment of plasmid-borne blaTEM mutant genes, encoding nine distinct TEM-type extended-spectrum beta-lactamases, was studied in transconjugants from clinical isolates of enterobacteria. Colony hybridization with probes specific for tnpA and tnpR of Tn3, tnpA and tnpI of Tn21, aacA4, and IS15, and restriction endonuclease analysis of plasmid DNA indicated that the structural genes for the enzymes...
