Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to analyze the significance of leucine to proline substitution at position 138(Leu138Pro) on the hydrolysis of penicillin and ampicillin that we identified in the blaSHV gene of clinical Escherichia coli swine isolate. RESULTS: Kinetic analysis of the mutant proteins showed that K(m) value of the purified L138P mutant was comparatively higher than SHV-1, SHV-33 and...
