Genotypic Identification of AmpC β-Lactamases Production in Gram-Negative Bacilli Isolates
1 Jan 2014
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: AmpC type β-lactamases are commonly isolated from extended-spectrum Cephalosporin-resistant Gram-negative bacteria. Also, resistance appeared in bacterial species not naturally producing AmpC enzymes. Therefore, a standard test for the detection of the plasmid-mediated AmpC enzyme and new breakpoints for extended spectrum Cephalosporins are urgently necessary. OBJECTIVES: To detect plasmid and...
