Heterogeneity of AmpC cephalosporinases of Hafnia alvei clinical isolates expressing inducible or constitutive ceftazidime resistance phenotypes.
Antimicrobial agents and chemotherapy 20001101 11
Ten unrelated Hafnia alvei clinical isolates were grouped according to either their low-level and inducible cephalosporinase production or their high-level and constitutive cephalosporinase production phenotype. Their AmpC sequences shared 85 to 100% amino acid identity. The immediate genetic environment of ampC genes was conserved in H. alvei isolates but was different from that found in other ampC-possessing enterobacterial species. ...[more]
