TEM-type beta-lactamase production in Haemophilus ducreyi.

I W MacLean, G H Bowden, W L Albritton
PMCID: PMC283894  PMID: 6967297

Abstract

A TnA-containing 6.0-megadalton plasmid (pJB1) isolated from Haemophilus ducreyi was shown to code for a beta-lactamase similar to the TEM-1-type beta-lactamase originating from the ampicillin transposon Tn2.
