Molecular Characterization of the SHV-11
-Lactamase of Shigella dysenteriae
-lactamase with an Mr of 29,000 and a
pI of 7.6 was partially purified from a clinical isolate of
Shigella dysenteriae. The bla gene encoded the
SHV-11 enzyme carrying the substitution Leu
Gln at position 35 and
was linked to a strong promoter. This variant, unlike the prototype
SHV-1 enzyme, hydrolyzed oxacillin, cloxacillin, and
oxyiminocephalosporins such as cefotaxime.
