Abstract

A clinical strain of Klebsiella pneumoniae was found to possess the chromosomal gene bla(SHV-56), encoding a new inhibitor-resistant beta-lactamase with a pI of 7.6. SHV-56 is derived from SHV-11 by the single substitution K234R. This mutation therefore evidences a new critical site for inhibitor resistance among SHV enzymes.
