Abstract
The extended-spectrum, plasmid-borne beta-lactamase gene blaBIL-1, which was discovered in Escherichia coli, has been cloned. Unusually for a plasmid-borne beta-lactamase, blaBIL-1 encodes a novel class C enzyme and appears to have originated from the chromosomal ampC gene of Citrobacter freundii.Keywords
