Plasmid-Encoded AmpC (pAmpC) in Enterobacteriaceae: epidemiology of microorganisms and resistance markers ß-lactamasas de tipo AmpC de codificación plasmídica (pAmpC) en Enterobacteriaceae: epidemiología de los microorganismos y de los marcadores de resistencia

CMY-2 ß-lactamase is an important cause of ß-lactam resistance in Enterobacteriaceae and constitutes the most widespread pAmpC. Although CMY-2 has been previously recognized in our region, the real prevalence and epidemiology of this resistance marker was uncertain. During August-October 2009, we co...
