Identification of DHA-23, a Novel Plasmid-mediated and Inducible AmpC beta-Lactamase from Enterobacteriaceae in Northern Taiwan

Objectives: AmpC β-lactamases are classified as Amber Class C and Bush Group 1. AmpC β-lactamases can hydrolyze broad and extended-spectrum cephalosporins, and are not inhibited by β-lactamase inhibitors such as clavulanic acid. This study was conducted to identify DHA-23, a novel plasmid-mediated a...
