Abstract
Crude extracts from 115 extended-spectrum beta-lactamase-producing Kle bsiella pneumoniae isolates were analyzed biochemically. The TEM-3 typ e was encountered 108 times, SHV types were encountered 7 times, and t he TEM-26 type was encountered only once. For the last one, the gene w as identified; an adenine was detected at position 925, as in bla(TEM- 26B) not in bla(TEM-26).
