Insertional activation of cepA leads to high-level beta-lactamase expression in Bacteroides fragilis clinical isolates.
Rogers, Marc B.; Bennett, Tamara K.; Payne, Catherine M.; Smith, C. Jeffrey (East Carolina University, 1994-07)Bacteroides fragilis is an important opportunistic pathogen of humans and is resistant to many drugs commonly used to treat anaerobic infections, including P-lactams. A strain set comprised of B. fragilis isolates producing ... -
Molecular and genetic analysis of the Bacteroides uniformis cephalosporinase gene, cblA, encoding the species-specific beta-lactamase.
Smith, C. Jeffrey; Bennett, Tamara K.; Parker, Anita C. (East Carolina University, 1994-08)The gene, cbl, encoding the species-specific, clavulanate-susceptible, endogenous cephalosporinase was cloned from Bacteroides uniforinis WAL-7088. The nucleotide sequence was determined, and the cbl structural gene was ...
