Abstract

ABSTRACT The gene bla CARB-9 was located in the Vibrio cholerae super-integron, but in a different location relative to bla CARB-7 . CARB-9 (pI 5.2) conferred β-lactam MICs four to eight times lower than those conferred by CARB-7, differing at Ambler's positions V97I, L124F, and T228K. Comparison of the genetic environments of all reported bla CARB genes indicated that the CARB enzymes constitute a family of cassette-encoded β-lactamases.
