On functional and structural heterogeneity of VIM-type metallo-beta-lactamases

Abstract: The VIM metallo-beta-lactamases are emerging resistance determinants, encoded by mobile genetic elements, that have recently been detected in multidrug-resistant nosocomial isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and other Gram-negative pathogens. In this work a T7-based expression system for overproduction of the VIM-2 enzyme by Escherichia coli was developed, which yielded approximately 80 mg of protein per litre of culture. The enzyme was mostly released into the medium, from which it was recovered at >99% purit… Show more

“…An OXA-10-producing E. coli laboratory strain was obtained following PCR amplification of the bla OXA-10 ORF with specific primers (Table 5) with the Expand High Fidelity PCR system (Roche Biochemicals), as previously described (17). The reaction conditions used were the following: an initial denaturation step at 96°C for 2 min; 30 cycles of denaturation at 94°C for 1 min, annealing at 48°C for 1 min, extension at 72°C for 1 min and 30 s, and a final extension step at 72°C for 20 min.…”
