Resistencia enzimática a betalactámicos en el género Proteus y evaluación de los fenotipos y genotipos de resistencia a cefalosporinas de tercera y cuarta generación en Proteus mirabilis

The broad extended spectrum betalactamase within genus Proteus was TEM-1, while CTX-M-2 was the ESBL responsible for the third and fourth generation cephalosporins in P. mirabilis. In P. vulgaris and P. penneri this resistance was associated with the hyperproduction of the chromosomal encoded betalactamase.
