Data detailed in "The CTX-M beta-lactamase pandemic" have been presented. "In the past decade CTX-M enzymes have become the most prevalent extended-spectrum beta-lactamases, both in nosocomial and in community settings. The insertion sequences (ISs) ISEcp1 and ISCR1 (formerly common region 1 [CR1] or orf513) appear to enable the mobilization of chromosomal beta-lactamase Kluyvera species genes, which display high homology with blaCTX-Ms," scientists writing in the journal Current Opinion In Microbiology report.
"These ISs are preferentially linked to specific genes: ISEcp1 to most blaCTX-Ms, and ISCR1 to blaCTX-M-2 or blaCTX-M-9. The blaCTX-M genes embedded in...
