FIG. 1.
Nucleotide sequences of blaB2 (GenBank accession no. AF126542) from C. meningosepticum 97/P/5448 and blaB3 (GenBank accession no. AF162284) from the type strain, C. meningosepticum NCTC 10016, in comparison with that of blaB (20). Dots represent nucleotide identity. The positions of the blaB/blaB2-specific and blaB3-specific PCR primers used in this study are shown on respective sequences (shaded).
