The high-level cefotaxime resistance in the H. parainfluenzae isolates was due to a combination of a plasmid-mediated TEM-15 extended-spectrum beta-lactamase with altered PBP3 probably contributing. Other contributing resistance mechanisms could not be excluded.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
