Abstract excerpt

Xanthomonas maltophilia produces two inducible beta-lactamases, L1 and L2, and resists the antimicrobial activity of beta-lactam antibiotics, including carbapenems. L1 is a zinc-metaloenzyme with carbapenemase activity; L2 is an unusual cephalosporinase. Mutant strains with high- and low-level co...
