Abstract: In Enterobacter cloacae complex (ECC), the overproduction of the chromosome-encoded cephalosporinase (cAmpC) associated with decreased outer membrane permeability may result in carbapenem resistance. In this study, we have characterized ACT-28, a cAmpC with weak carbapenemase… read more here.
