Molecular methods for the detection of TEM- and SHV-related beta lactamase genes in members of the Enterobacteriaceae
Bacterial resistance to antibiotics is a common and important clinical problem. Beta lactam resistance in Gram negative bacilli is mediated predominantly by beta lactamases, enzymes able to hydrolyse the beta lactam ring. The commonest plasmid mediated beta lactamases in the Enterobacteriaceae are t...
