  • Title: Rapid discrimination between BRO beta-lactamases from clinical isolates of Moraxella catarrhalis using restriction endonuclease analysis.
    Author: du Plessis M.
    Journal: Diagn Microbiol Infect Dis; 2001 Jan; 39(1):65-7. PubMed ID: 11173194.
    Abstract:
    An important feature of Moraxella catarrhalis is the production of beta-lactamases, which causes resistance to the penicillins. Restriction enzyme analysis was able to distinguish between the bro-1 and bro-2 beta-lactamase-encoding genes from 89 clinical isolates of M. catarrhalis. This is a rapid, simple and cost effective method of characterizing these genes.
