Biochemical Analysis of Metallo-β-Lactamase NDM-3 from a Multidrug-Resistant Escherichia coli Strain Isolated in Japan
1 Apr 2014
Abstract excerpt
New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase-3 (NDM-3) was identified in a multidrug-resistant Escherichia coli isolate, NCGM77, obtained from the feces of a patient in Japan. The enzymatic activities of NDM-3 against β-lactams were similar to those of NDM-1, although NDM-3 showed slightly lower kcat/Km ratios for all the β-lactams tested except for doripenem. The genetic context for blaNDM-3 was...
