A237T as a modulating mutation in naturally occurring extended-spectrum TEM-type beta-lactamases.
A TEM-1 beta-lactamase derivative containing the single amino acid substitution A237T slightly increased (from 24 to 32 microg/ml) the cephalothin MIC for Escherichia coli RYC1000 but did not influence the activities of cefotaxime, ceftazidime, and aztreonam (MICs of 0.03, 0.12, and 0.06 microg/ml, respectively). Despite its apparent neutrality, addition of the A237T mutation to the pair of mut...
متن کاملSingle amino acid replacements at positions altered in naturally occurring extended-spectrum TEM beta-lactamases.
By directed mutagenesis, we constructed a set of seven TEM-1 derivatives containing single replacements in each one of the amino acids substituted in naturally occurring extended-spectrum TEM beta-lactamases. The exact contribution of each mutation to the resistance phenotype was determined. In addition, mutant enzyme production and stabilities were studied. Five of seven mutations determined t...

www.expert-reviews.com ISSN 1478-7210 © 2008 Expert Reviews Ltd 10.1586/14787210.6.5.671 The potential options available for treating serious infections caused by enterobacteria include penicillins (with or without β-lactamase inhibitors), cephalosporins, aztreonam, carbapenems, fluoroquinolones and, in certain situations only, aminoglycosides and colistin. Recently, tigecycline has been added ...
متن کاملPrevalence of Extended-Spectrum β-Lactamases Genes in Clinical Isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa
ABSTRACT Background and Objectives: Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic pathogen resistant to various antibiotics. The aim of the present study was to study resistant patterns in clinical isolates of P. aeruginosa, classify them into pandrug resistance (PDR), extensive drug resistance (XDR) and multidrug resistance (MDR)...
متن کاملNomenclature of GES-Type Extended-Spectrum -Lactamases
In two recently published articles, Wachino et al. designated a novel ceftazidime-hydrolyzing class A extended-spectrum -lactamase (ESBL) (GES-a) as GES-3 (4), and a new cephamycin-hydrolyzing and inhibitor-resistant class A ESBL (GESb) as GES-4 (5). In actuality, their articles are fraught with misleading nomenclature of GES-type ESBLs and controvertible conclusions on the relationship between...
