Abstract: Sir, The gene encoding NPS-1 b-lactamase (blaNPS-1) was first reported on a self-transmissible plasmid of clinical isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The enzyme can hydrolyse carbenicillin, azlocillin, cefoperazone and cefsulodin, but cannot effectively hydrolyse more stable… read more here.

Abstract: Bacteria can acquire an accessory genome through the horizontal transfer of genetic elements from non-parental lineages. This leads to rapid genetic evolution allowing traits such as antibiotic resistance and virulence to spread through bacterial communities.… read more here.
