M.M. Rodríguez, P.P. Power, Thierry Naas, Gabriel Gutkind
Abstract
Changes in Kluyvera taxonomy may clarify each species contribution for recruitment and dissemination of their relevant β-lactamases. The CTX-M-2 subgroup is linked to Kluyvera ascorbata , KLUC to Kluyvera cryocrescens , and CTX-M-25 to Kluyvera georgiana .
