Abstract excerpt
Mutations can increase the ceftazidimase activity of CTX-M-3 beta-lactamase, as seen with its widespread variant CTX-M-15. This study compared the frequencies of emerging ceftazidime resistance in isogenic wild-type and hyper-mutable mutS CTX-M-3-producing Escherichia coli strains, and sequenced...
