Cloning and sequence analysis of bla sub(BIL-1), a plasmid-mediated class C beta -lactamase gene in Escherichia coli BS

The extended-spectrum, plasmid-borne beta -lactamase gene bla sub(BIL-1), which was discovered in Escherichia coli, has been cloned. Unusually for a plasmid-borne beta -lactamase, bla sub(BIL-1) encodes a novel class C enzyme and appears to have originated from the chromosomal ampC gene of Citrobact...

Summary:The extended-spectrum, plasmid-borne beta -lactamase gene bla sub(BIL-1), which was discovered in Escherichia coli, has been cloned. Unusually for a plasmid-borne beta -lactamase, bla sub(BIL-1) encodes a novel class C enzyme and appears to have originated from the chromosomal ampC gene of Citrobacter freundii.
