Inducible AmpC -Lactamase of a New Member Enterobacteriaceae
نویسندگان
چکیده
Extensive biochemical testing and 16S rRNA and rpoB sequence analysis revealed that clinical strain CF01Ent1, initially identified as Buttiauxella agrestis by the use of Api 32 biochemical strips, is a new organism in the Enterobacteriaceae family. It produced an inducible AmpC-type -lactamase whose sequence shares 69 to 72% identity with those of the other AmpC-type -lactamases of Enterobacteriaceae. This enzyme exhibits an atypical high affinity for all -lactams tested.

A Study on the AmpC Production Amongst the Urinary Enterobacteriaceae Isolates.
The AmpC β-lactamases are clinically important because they confer resistance to the narrow-, expandedand the broad-spectrum cephalosporins, the β-lactam-β-lactamase inhibitor combinations and aztreonam. The clinical microbiology laboratories should be able to detect the bacterial strains which produce AmpC, since these strains may appear to be susceptible to a particular β-lactam antibiotic in...
متن کاملUtility of the ceftazidime-imipenem antagonism test (CIAT) to detect and confirm the presence of inducible AmpC beta-lactamases among enterobacteriaceae.
Detection of AmpC beta-lactamase production by enterobacteria has been problematic. Contrary to ESBLs, no specific guidelines are available for detection and confirmation of AmpC production by clinical relevant microorganisms. Moreover, some bacterial species may produce inducible AmpC beta-lactamases that can be easily overlooked by routine susceptibility tests. We reported here a new test bas...
متن کاملIdentification of DHA-23, a novel plasmid-mediated and inducible AmpC beta-lactamase from Enterobacteriaceae in Northern Taiwan
OBJECTIVES AmpC β-lactamases are classified as Amber Class C and Bush Group 1. AmpC β-lactamases can hydrolyze broad and extended-spectrum cephalosporins, and are not inhibited by β-lactamase inhibitors such as clavulanic acid. This study was conducted to identify DHA-23, a novel plasmid-mediated and inducible AmpC β-lactamase obtained from Enterobacteriaceae. METHODS A total of 210 carbapene...

In this study, 922 consecutive non-duplicate clinical isolates of Enterobacteriaceae obtained from hospitalized and non-hospitalized patients at Bejaia, Algeria were analyzed for AmpC-type β-lactamases production. The ampC genes and their genetic environment were characterized using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and sequencing. Plasmid incompatibility groups were determined by using PCR-based...
متن کاملAmpC induction by ceftaroline.
Sir, Ceftaroline is a novel, parenteral, broad-spectrum oxyimino cephalosporin active against staphylococci, including methicillinresistant strains, and pneumococci, including penicillinand cefotaxime-resistant strains. It also has anti-Enterobacteriaceae activity, but this is constrained by lability to b-lactamases, including AmpC, extended-spectrum, KPC and metallo types. It has recently comp...
