Evolution of metallo-beta-lactamases in focus of the antibiotic resistance problem
Вісник Харківського Національного Університету Імені В.Н. Каразіна: Серія БіологіяThe article considers the place of metallo-beta-lactamases among the mechanisms of antibiotic resistance. These enzymes have important differences from serine beta-lactamases, which affect the mechanism of their catalytic activity, inhibition, rate of ...

Controversies about Extended-Spectrum and AmpC Beta-Lactamases
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2001 Many clinical laboratories have problems detecting extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBLs) and plasmid-mediated AmpC beta-lactamases. Confusion exists about the importance of these resistance mechanisms, optimal test methods, and appropriate reporting ...

Molecular analysis of the simultaneous production of two SHV-type extended-spectrum beta-lactamases in a clinical isolate of Enterobacter cloacae by using single-nucleotide polymorphism genotyping [PDF]
, 2005 Bacteria that simultaneously produce multiple extended-spectrum beta-lactamases are frequently isolated. We report an Enterobacter cloacae isolate, ES24, producing four different beta-lactamases (AmpC type beta-lactamase, TEM-1, SHV-7, and a novel ...
