Beta-lactamase gene expression in a penicillin-resistant Bacillus anthracis strain.

Antimicrobial agents and chemotherapy - 1 Dec 2004

Chen Yahua, Tenover Fred C, Koehler Theresa M

Abstract excerpt

Expression of the bla1 and bla2 genes in an archetypal Bacillus anthracis strain is insufficient for penicillin resistance. In a penicillin-resistant clinical isolate, both genes are highly transcribed, but bla1 is the major contributor to high-level resistance to ampicillin. Differential expression of the bla genes is dependent upon strain background.
