Characterization of a Chromosomal Gene Encoding Type B β-Lactamase in Phage Group II Isolates of Staphylococcus aureus

In contrast to most Staphylococcus aureus isolates in which the gene for staphylococcal β-lactamase (blaZ) is plasmid borne, isolates typeable by group II bacteriophages frequently carry blaZ on the chromosome. Furthermore, the chromosomal gene encodes the type B variant of staphylococcal β-lactamas...
