Multiplex PCR Study of Plasmid-Mediated AmpC Beta-Lactamase Genes in Clinical Isolates of Escherichia coli

Background:   AmpC β-lactamases are important cephalosporinases chromosomally encoded in many of Enterobacteriaceae and a few other organisms where they mediate resistance to cephalothin, cefazolin, cefoxitin and penicillins. The six different families of plasmid-mediated AmpC β-lactamases have bee...
