Sequence of the PSE-1 β-Lactamase Gene

Pentti Huovinen 1, George A Jacoby 2,*
PMCID: PMC245398  PMID: 1804019

Abstract

The nucleotide sequence of the PSE-1 β-lactamase gene from Tn1403 indicates that it is contained in an integron and encodes a class A enzyme differing from PSE-4 and CARB-3 by single amino acid substitutions.
