Abstract excerpt
A clinical strain of Vibrio cholerae non-O1 non-O139 isolated in France produced a new beta-lactamase with a pI of 5.35. The purified enzyme, with a molecular mass of 33,000 Da, was characterized. Its kinetic constants show it to be a carbenicillin-hydrolyzing enzyme comparable to the five previously reported CARB beta-lactamases and to SAR-1, another carbenicillin-hydrolyzing beta-lactamase that has a pI of 4.9...
