Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: AmpC-mediated cephalosporin resistance occurs in 1.0% to 3.3% of Escherichia coli isolates due to the production of either plasmid-mediated AmpC (p-AmpC) or chromosomal AmpC (c-AmpC). Data on the prevalence and molecular characteristics of AmpC-producing E. coli in pediatric patients are limited. METHODS: We analyzed E. coli clinical strains with resistance phenotype consistent with AmpC production...
