GES-18, a new carbapenem-hydrolyzing GES-Type β-lactamase from Pseudomonas aeruginosa that contains Ile80 and Ser170 residues.
A clinical isolate of Pseudomonas aeruginosa recovered from the lower respiratory tract of an 81-year-old patient hospitalized in Belgium was sent to the national reference center to determine its resistance mechanism. PCR sequencing identified a new GES variant, GES-18, which differs from the carbapenem-hydrolyzing enzyme GES-5 by a single amino acid substitution (Val80Ile, in the numbering ac...
متن کاملCarbapenem-hydrolyzing GES-type extended-spectrum beta-lactamase in Acinetobacter baumannii.
Acinetobacter baumannii isolate AP was recovered from a bronchial lavage of a patient hospitalized in Paris, France. A. baumannii AP was resistant to all β-lactams, including carbapenems, and produced the extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) GES-14, which differs from GES-1 by two substitutions, Gly170Ser and Gly243Ala. Cloning of the bla(GES-14) gene followed by its expression in Escherichia c...
متن کاملGES-2, a class A beta-lactamase from Pseudomonas aeruginosa with increased hydrolysis of imipenem.
Pseudomonas aeruginosa GW-1 was isolated in 2000 in South Africa from blood cultures of a 38-year-old female who developed nosocomial pneumonia. This isolate harbored a self-transferable ca. 100-kb plasmid that conferred an expanded-spectrum cephalosporin resistance profile associated with an intermediate susceptibility to imipenem. A beta-lactamase gene, bla(GES-2), was cloned from whole-cell ...

متن کاملKinetic and crystallographic studies of extended-spectrum GES-11, GES-12, and GES-14 β-lactamases.
GES-1 is a class A extended-spectrum β-lactamase conferring resistance to penicillins, narrow- and expanded-spectrum cephalosporins, and ceftazidime. However, GES-1 poorly hydrolyzes aztreonam and cephamycins and exhibits very low k(cat) values for carbapenems. Twenty-two GES variants have been discovered thus far, differing from each other by 1 to 3 amino acid substitutions that affect substra...
