Abstract excerpt
Hydrolysis kinetics of two cephalosporinases from Citrobacter freundii and Proteus vulgaris having different affinities for cefotaxime and ceftazidime was assessed in studies with cefotaxime, ceftazidime, BMY-28142, and imipenem. The two cephalosporinase genes were cloned into strains of Escherichia coli. The production of these cephalosporinases in strains of E. coli, as well as in the derepressed mutants of C....
