Characterizing Escherichia coli carrying plasmid-mediated AmpC β-lactamases to optimize detection in a diagnostic laboratory setting

ABSTRACT Plasmid-mediated AmpC β-lactamases are a cause of acquired cephalosporin resistance in Gram-negative bacteria. However, consensus regarding the optimal detection method is yet to be achieved and varies depending on local epidemiology and laboratory capacity. We determined the acquired genot...
