Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to characterize the different inhibitor-resistant TEM beta-lactamases, extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBLs) and plasmid-mediated AmpC beta-lactamases implicated in beta-lactam resistance in Proteus mirabilis, which has increased over recent years. METHODS: From February 2000 to December 2005, 1423 clinical isolates of P. mirabilis were collected. The AmpC phenotype was...
