Abstract excerpt
β-Lactams are often used to treat Helicobacter cinaedi infections; however, the mechanism underlying β-lactam resistance is unknown. In this study, we investigated β-lactam resistance in an H. cinaedi strain, MRY12-0051 (MICs of amoxicillin [AMX] and ceftriaxone [CRO], 32 and 128 μg/ml; obtained from human feces). Based on a comparative whole-genome analysis of MRY12-0051 and the CRO-susceptible H. cinaedi strain...
