13 Jul 2011
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: To characterize the vectors involved in the dissemination of bla(CMY-2) genes in clinical isolates of Proteus mirabilis collected between 1999 and 2007. METHODS: Plasmid analysis of 19 P. mirabilis carrying ampC genes was performed by PCR-based replicon typing, S1-PFGE and Southern hybridization with ampC and replicon probes. Isolates that could not be characterized were examined for the presence of...
