Abstract excerpt
Beta-lactam antibiotics are the most applied antimicrobials in human and veterinarian health care. Hence, beta-lactam resistance is a major health problem. Gene amplification of AmpC beta-lactamase is a main contributor to de novo β-lactam resistance in Escherichia coli. However, the time course of amplification and the accompanying DNA mutations are unclear. Here, we study the progression of ampC amplification...
