Beta-lactamase gene expression in a penicillin-resistant Bacillus anthracis strain.

abstract：:We tested the combined activity of vancomycin and seven beta-lactam antibiotics against Staphylococcus aureus clinical strain Mu3, which displays heterogeneous resistance to vancomycin. When combined with vancomycin, four of the seven tested beta-lactams exhibited an additive effect at or near their MICs, while all sh...
