CTX-M β-Lactamase Production and Virulence of Escherichia coli K1

CTX-M β-Lactamase Production and Virulence of Escherichia coli K1

We report a patient with neonatal meningitis caused by a CTX-M-1–producing Escherichia coli K1 strain. The influence of CTX-M production on virulence was investigated in cell culture and a newborn mouse model of meningitis. CTX-M production had no influence on virulence but was a major factor in cli...
