Molecular characterization of AmpC-producing Escherichia coli clinical isolates recovered in a French hospital
4 Feb 2008
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: To characterize the AmpC-type beta-lactamases produced by Escherichia coli clinical isolates. METHODS: E. coli isolates recovered in a French hospital in 2006 were selected on the basis of a resistance phenotype consistent with increased AmpC production. The presence of genes coding for plasmid-mediated cephalosporinases as well as the existence of mutations in the chromosome-borne ampC genes was...
