“…All samples from poultry and layer farm have blaTEM gene. The similar result showed in Iran and Taiwan where 100% beta lactamase resistant strain have a blaTEM gene (Yang et al, 2017;Nouri-Gharajalar et al, 2019). BlaTEM gene encodes most encountered bacteria â-lactamase (Xu et al, 2014).…”

“…BlaTEM gene encodes most encountered bacteria â-lactamase (Xu et al, 2014). Most strains, which have blaTEM gene, exhibited a high degree of resistance to â-lactam antibiotics in China and Taiwan (Yang et al, 2017). Modifcation of penicillin-binding protein (PLP2a) induces inactivity of penicillin and other beta lactam antibiotics; and it will develop cross-resistance of multiple antibiotics (Bounar-Kechih et al, 2018).…”

“…The blaTEM was detected in most isolates, which was positively correlated with the penicillin G resistance phenotype. Previously, studies reported a high frequency of the blaTEM gene in foodborne and clinical isolates (80% and 100%, respectively) (Xu et al 2014;Yang et al 2016). Resistance to methicillin in S. aureus is primarily mediated by the mecA gene, which encodes the low-affinity penicillin-binding protein 2a (PBP2a) (Rolo et al 2017).…”
