Resistance to β-lactams in Bacteria Isolated from Different Types of Portuguese Cheese

The purpose of this study was to investigate the presence of β-lactam-resistant bacteria in six different types of Portuguese cheese. The numbers of ampicillin resistant (AMPr) bacteria varied from 4.7 x 102 to 1.5 x 107 CFU/g. Within 172 randomly selected β-lactam-resistant bacteria, 44 resistant p...
