Genetic and biochemical analysis of a novel Ambler class A β-Lactamase responsible for cefoxitin resistance in Bacteroides species.
(East Carolina University, 1993-05)
A clinical isolate of Bacteroides vulgatus was resistant to tetracycline, clindamycin, ampicillin, cephaloridine,
cefoxitin, and other 13-lactam antibiotics except imipenem. 13-Lactam resistance was mediated by a ...
Autocrine production of extracellular catalase prevents apoptosis of the human CEM T-cell line in serum-free medium.
(East Carolina University, 1993-05-15)
CCRF-CEM is a human T-cell line originally isolated from a child with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. At cell densities > 2 x 10 cells per ml, CEM cells grow in serum-free medium, but at lower cell densities the cultures ...
Isolation and characterization of Bordetella bronchiseptica mutants deficient in siderophore activity.
(East Carolina University, 1993-02)
Iron acquisition by the gram-negative pathogens Bordetella bronchiseptica and Bordetella pertussis is thought to occur by hydroxamate siderophore-mediated transport as well as an apparently siderophore-independent process ...
Cloning and characterization of the endogenous cephalosporinase gene, cepA, from Bacteroides fragilis reveals a new subgroup of Ambler class A beta-lactamases.
(East Carolina University, 1993-11)
Bacteroides frgiglis CS30 is a clinical isolate resistant to high concentrations of benzylpenicillin and cephaloridine but not to cephamycin or penem antibiotics. beta-Lactam resistance is mediated by a chromosomally encoded ...
Identification of a circular intermediate in the transfer and transposition of Tn4555, a mobilizable transposon from Bacteroides spp.
(East Carolina University, 1993-05)
Transmissible cefoxitin (FX) resistance in Bacteroides vulgatus CLA341 was associated with the 12.5-kb,
mobilizable transposon, Tn4555, which encoded the 13-lactamase gene cfxA. Transfer occurred by a
conjugation-like ...
