Abstract excerpt
A TEM-1 beta-lactamase derivative containing the single amino acid substitution A237T slightly increased (from 24 to 32 microg/ml) the cephalothin MIC for Escherichia coli RYC1000 but did not influence the activities of cefotaxime, ceftazidime, and aztreonam (MICs of 0.03, 0.12, and 0.06 microg/ml, respectively). Despite its apparent neutrality, addition of the A237T mutation to the pair of mutations...
