A chromosomally encoded oxacillinase, OXA-22, had been characterized from Ralstonia pickettii PIC-1 that did not explain by itself the resistance profile of this strain to beta-lactams. Thus, further analysis of the genetic background of this species led to the identification of another oxacillinase, OXA-60, that was expressed only after beta-lactam induction. This chromosomally encoded oxacillinase shared 19% amino acid identity with OXA-22. It has a narrow-spectrum hydrolysis profile that incl ...[more]
