Title: | Type I β-Lactamases of Enterobacter cloacae and Resistance to β-Lactam Antibiotics | Authors: | Tejedor-Junco, M. T. González-Martín, M. Lupiola, P. González-Lama, Z. |
Issue Date: | 1998 | Publisher: | 0015-5632 | Journal: | Folia Microbiologica | Abstract: | The interaction of type-I beta-lactamases from Enterobacter cloacae with diverse beta-lactam compounds was examined. The ability of penicillin and cefoxitin to induce beta-lactamase production in this strain was assessed. The effect of beta-lactamase inhibitors was measured on beta-lactamase extracts and on intact cells. E. cloacae 78 strain is a stably derepressed mutant showing limited susceptibility to a number of antibiotics except imipenem. Imipenem would therefore be the appropriate choice for therapy of infections caused by stably derepressed mutants of Enterobacter sp. producing type-I beta-lactamases. | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/10553/49438 | ISSN: | 0015-5632 | DOI: | 10.1007/BF02816390 | Source: | Folia Microbiologica[ISSN 0015-5632],v. 43, p. 683-686 |
