Abstract excerpt
Pseudomonas aeruginosa exhibits significant antibiotic resistance facilitated by both intrinsic and acquired mechanisms, prominently through Pseudomonas-derived cephalosporinase (PDC), serine Ambler class C β-lactamases encoded by the AmpC. AmpC, involved in the peptidoglycan recycling pathway, is regulated by genes such as ampD, ampR, and ampG, leading to increased expression and resistance to various...
