Abstract excerpt
In our curated panel of Burkholderia cepacia complex isolates, Burkholderia multivorans strain AU28442 was unusually highly β-lactam resistant. To explore the molecular mechanisms leading to this phenotype, we performed whole genome sequencing (WGS) and microbiological and biochemical assays. WGS analysis revealed that strain AU28442 produced two β-lactamases, AmpC22 and a novel PenA-like β-lactamase denominated...
