Distribution of the cfiA Gene among Bacteroides fragilis Strains in Japan and Relatedness of cfiA to Imipenem Resistance

The cfiA gene, encoding an imipenem-hydrolyzing metallo-β-lactamase produced by Bacteroides fragilis, and insertion-like elements were detected by PCR amplification with B. fragilis strains isolated in Japan. The cfiA gene was found in 1.9 and 4.1% of the imipenem-susceptible B. fragilis isolates co...
