Abstract
The extended-spectrum, plasmid-borne beta-lactamase gene bla(BIL-1), w hich was discovered in Escherichia coli, has been cloned. Unusually fo r a plasmid-borne beta-lactamase, bla(BIL-1) encodes a novel class C e nzyme and appears to have originated from the chromosomal ampC gene of Citrobacter freundii.
