Abstract excerpt
A TEM-1 derived variant beta-lactamase with increased resistance to beta-lactamase inhibitors was selected in vitro. The variant beta-lactamase was obtained from the parent strain Escherichia coli J62-2 containing resistance plasmid R1 which encodes the TEM-1 beta-lactamase. The variants were obtained by repeated subculture of E. coli J62-2 (R1) for five days in the presence of sub-inhibitory concentrations of...
