Detection of cfxA and cfxA2 , the β-Lactamase Genes of Prevotella spp., in Clinical Samples from Dentoalveolar Infection by Real-Time PCR
1 Jan 2006
Abstract excerpt
While most bacteria involved in dentoalveolar infection are highly susceptible to penicillin, some Prevotella strains exhibit resistance to this agent through the production of beta-lactamase. The production of beta-lactamase by Prevotella spp. is in turn associated with the expression of the genes cfxA and cfxA2. The aim of the present study was to determine the prevalence of cfxA and cfxA2 in Prevotella strains...
