Abstract excerpt
Mutants exhibiting enhanced resistance to cefotaxime and imipenem were selected by plating a strain of Enterobacter aerogenes, which already produced chromosomal beta-lactamase constitutively, on to varying concentrations of different beta-lactam antibiotics. Frequencies of mutation varied from 10(-5) to 10(-8), depending upon the particular antibiotic and concentration used for selection. Only minor variations...
