Title: Molecular characterization of the OXA-7 beta-lactamase gene. | Journal: Antimicrobial agents and chemotherapy. 1995 Jun;39(6):1379-82 | Authors: Scoulica E, Aransay A, Tselentis Y. | Abstract: The OXA-7 gene, which encodes an oxacillinase, was cloned from plasmid pMG202 of Escherichia coli isolate 7181 (A. A. Medeiros, M. Cohenford, and G. A. Jacoby, Antimicrob. Agents Chemother. 27:715-719, 1985) and sequenced. The nucleotide sequence of the OXA-7 gene was closely related to that of the OXA-10 (PSE-2) gene, with a derived amino acid sequence of the OXA-7 enzyme showing greater than 95% homology with those of OXA-10 and OXA-11. | See full PubMed entry: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7574536 |
