Abstract
Bacteroides fragilis TAL3636 produces a class B, Zn2(+)-requiring beta-lactamase. The gene, ccrA, was cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli. The gene was sequenced and shown to share greater than 33% identity with the metalloenzyme from Bacillus cereus 569/H.This publication has 11 references indexed in Scilit:
