Abstract excerpt
Point mutations in the nucleotide sequence of the structural genes for the TEM-type penicillinases can broaded their substrate spectrum towards all beta-lactams except cephamycins and imipenem. The presence of such variants on self-transferable plasmids accounts for the dissemination of this new type of resistance to numerous species of Enterobacteriaceae in various countries. We have synthetized biotinylated...
