Abstract excerpt
CTX-M-19 is a recently identified ceftazidime-hydrolyzing extended-spectrum beta-lactamase, which differs from the majority of CTX-M-type beta-lactamases that preferentially hydrolyze cefotaxime but not ceftazidime. To elucidate the mechanism of ceftazidime hydrolysis by CTX-M-19, the beta-lactam MICs of a CTX-M-19 producer, and the kinetic parameters of the enzyme were confirmed. We reconfirmed here that...
