Production of a TEM-24 Plasmid-Mediated
Extended-Spectrum
-Lactamase by a Clinical Isolate of
Pseudomonas aeruginosa
-lactamase TEM-24,
were isolated from a long-term-hospitalized woman. Three
TEM-24-producing enterobacterial species (Enterobacter
aerogenes, Escherichia coli, and Proteus
mirabilis) were isolated from the same patient. TEM-24 and the
resistance markers for aminoglycosides, chloramphenicol, and
sulfonamide were encoded by a 180-kb plasmid transferred by conjugation
into E. coli HB101.
