Abstract

Five bacterial strains (4 Klebsiella pneumoniae and 1 Escherichia coli ) representative of pathogenic 
species and resistant to -lactam antibiotics are investigated to isolate the genes responsible of 
lactamase activity. The use of engineering techniques enables us to show the widespread of blaSHV 
genes particularly in clinical isolates of K. pneumoniae. Our results highlighted an atypical blaSHV-11 
gene.
