Characterization of a new extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (TEM-87) isolated in Proteus mirabilis during an Italian survey.


ABSTRACT: A new natural TEM derivative, named TEM-87, was identified in a Proteus mirabilis isolate from an Italian hospital. Compared to TEM-1, TEM-87 contains the following mutations: E104K, R164C, and M182T. Kinetic analysis of TEM-87 revealed extended-spectrum activity against oxyimino cephalosporins (preferentially ceftazidime) and aztreonam. Expression of blaTEM-87 in Escherichia coli decreased the host susceptibility to these drugs.
