Abstract

290 ampicillin - resistant clinical isolates of various genera of Enterobacteriaceae were collected. 223 our of 290 isolates produced beta-lactamases: 95 of these resulted R plasmid mediated. The predominant R plasmid beta-lactamase was the TEM-1 enzyme. TEM-2 and SHV-1 enzymes were also produced.

Microbiology covers the biology and biochemistry of microorganisms, bacterial, viral, and parasitic, as well as the medical implications and treatments of the subset of these organisms known to cause disease in humans and/or animals. Biotechnology applications of microorganisms for basic science or clinical use are also covered. Resources that emphasize immune response to pathogens and its modulation by clinical intervention are excluded and are covered in the Immunology category.
