Novel aspects of transferable resistance to beta-lactam antibiotics
Until 1983, third generation cephalosporins (3GC) were thought to be resistant to hydrolysis by all plasmid-mediated β-lactamases. However, TEM and SHV derived β-lactamases have recently evolved which can confer transferable resistance to 3GC. Six novel plasmid β-lactamases, which confer transferabl...
