Abstract excerpt
Matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) after base-specific cleavage of PCR-amplified and in vitro-transcribed bla(SHV) genes was used for the identification and genotyping of SHV beta-lactamases. For evaluation, bla(SHV) stretches of 21 clinical Enterobacteriaceae isolates were PCR amplified using T7 promoter-tagged forward and reverse primers, respectively. In...
