Abstract
A total of 220 gram-negative isolates showing distinct beta-lactam resistance profiles recovered in U.S. medical centers during the MYSTIC Program 2007 were evaluated to determine the presence of selected beta-lactamase genes. CTX-M-encoding genes, considered rare in the United States, were detected in 38.8% (28/70; three species) of the extended spectrum beta-lactamase-positive isolates and were observed in 80.0% of the participating hospitals....
