Abstract excerpt
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR), mainly caused by the mutation of antibiotic resistance genes, poses a great threat to human health. Clinically, TEM-1 β-lactamase encoding blaTEM-1 gene is the most frequently occurred antibiotic resistance gene. Identification, characterization, and monitor of high antibiotic resistance blaTEM-1 mutants are crucial to AMR research and would provide the guidance for the development...
