Abstract excerpt
The rise of resistance to fourth-generation cephalosporin in Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa) is a global concern. The resistance is largely driven by variants of chromosomally encoded AmpC β-lactamase, known as Pseudomonas-derived cephalosporinase (PDC), which arise from the mutations in the ampC gene. In addition, alteration in dacB, which encode the penicillin-binding protein 4 (PBP4), can lead to the...
