Species-specific mutation rates for ampC derepression in Enterobacterales with chromosomally encoded inducible AmpC β-lactamase
21 Feb 2018
Abstract excerpt
Background: AmpC β-lactamases are encoded on the chromosomes of certain Enterobacterales and lead to clinical resistance to various β-lactams in case of high-level expression. In WT bacteria with inducible AmpC, the expression is low, but selection of stably ampC-derepressed mutants may occur during β-lactam therapy. Thus, for Enterobacter spp., Citrobacter freundii complex, Serratia spp. and Morganella morganii...
