Abstract excerpt
The emergence and dissemination of extended-spectrum (ES) beta-lactamases induce therapeutic failure and a lack of eradication of clinical isolates even by third-generation beta-lactam antibiotics like ceftazidime. CMY-10 is a plasmid-encoded class C beta-lactamase with a wide spectrum of substrates. Unlike the well-studied class C ES beta-lactamase from Enterobacter cloacae GC1, the Omega-loop does not affect...
