Aeromonas and Pseudomonas species carriers of ampC FOX genes in aquatic environments.

ABSTRACT: Resistance to beta-lactam antibiotics is evolutionarily ancient, and resistance to new drugs develops and quickly spreads. Most studies on beta-lactam resistance concentrate on pathogens in medical and veterinary settings. We show that ampC FOX genes can be found in natural environmental isolates.
