Sequences of MGH-1, YOU-1, and YOU-2 extended-spectrum beta-lactamase genes

Antimicrob Agents Chemother. 1993 Dec;37(12):2760-1. doi: 10.1128/AAC.37.12.2760.

Abstract

Genes for MGH-1, YOU-1, and YOU-2 extended-spectrum beta-lactamases have been cloned and sequenced. The gene for MGH-1 has the sequence of blaTEM-10, YOU-2 has that of blaTEM-12, and YOU-1 has that of blaTEM-26. All have evolved from blaTEM-1b but have the strong dual promoter sequence of blaTEM-2.
