Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: To characterize the naturally occurring expanded-spectrum beta-lactamase from an Escherichia coli clinical isolate and to compare it with a wild-type beta-lactamase. METHODS: The chromosome-borne ampC genes from E. coli BER and E. coli EC2 were PCR amplified, sequenced and cloned into an expression vector. Antimicrobial susceptibilities of the parental isolate and the recombinant strains were...
