Title: CMY-13, a novel inducible cephalosporinase encoded by an Escherichia coli plasmid. | Journal: Antimicrobial agents and chemotherapy. 2004 Aug;48(8):3172-4 | Authors: Miriagou V, Tzouvelekis LS, Villa L, Lebessi E, Vatopoulos AC, Carattoli A, Tzelepi E. | Abstract: An IncN plasmid (p541) from Escherichia coli carried a Citrobacter freundii-derived sequence of 4,252 bp which included an ampC-ampR region and was bound by two directly repeated IS26 elements. ampC encoded a novel cephalosporinase (CMY-13) with activity similar to that of CMY-2. AmpR was likely functional as indicated in induction experiments. | See full PubMed entry: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15273143 |
