Abstract

Surmmary

Back mutations from the TRC-1 -lactamase to the TEM-1 enzyme were selected . The revertant -lactamase was obtained from strain J62.2 carrying plasmid pUK901 which encodes the TRC-1 -lactamase. The revertant was obtained after repeated subculture of J62.2 (pUK901) in amoxycillin 512 mg/L for 5 days. The revertant -lactamase had the same pI as TEM-1 (5.4) and had restored inhibition by clavulanic acid (ID50 reduced from 4.2 to 0.15 ). The prevalence of these -lactamases in the clinical population may be the result of a two-way flux, with mutations in both forward and backward directions.
