Chromosome- and plasmid-encoded beta-lactamases in Capnocytophaga spp.

ABSTRACT: Chromosome- and plasmid-encoded CfxA2 and CfxA3 beta-lactamases were detected in Capnocytophaga spp. from oral sources in France, Norway, and the United States. Unidentified chromosome-encoded beta-lactamases were present in Capnocytophaga sputigena. Nucleotide sequence analysis of the CfxA3-encoding plasmid from C. ochracea revealed an unreported insertion sequence (ISCoc1) upstream of the cfxA gene.
