Abstract excerpt
Organisms producing CTX-M-beta-lactamases are emerging around the world as a source of resistance to oxyiminocephalosporins such as cefotaxime (CTX). However, the laboratory detection of these strains is not well defined. In this study, a molecular detection assay for the identification of CTX-M-beta-lactamase genes was developed and used to investigate the prevalence of these enzymes among clinical isolates of...
