Extensive Gene Amplification as a Mechanism for Piperacillin-Tazobactam Resistance in <named-content content-type="genus-species">Escherichia coli</named-content>

ABSTRACT Although the TEM-1 β-lactamase (BlaTEM-1) hydrolyzes penicillins and narrow-spectrum cephalosporins, organisms expressing this enzyme are typically susceptible to β-lactam/β-lactamase inhibitor combinations such as piperacillin-tazobactam (TZP). However, our previous work led to the discove...
