A New SHV-Derived Extended-Spectrum β-Lactamase (SHV-24) That Hydrolyzes Ceftazidime through a Single-Amino-Acid Substitution (D179G) in the Ω-Loop

ABSTRACT A new SHV-derived extended-spectrum β-lactamase (SHV-24) conferring high-level resistance to ceftazidime but not cefotaxime and cefazolin was identified in Japan. This enzyme was encoded by a transferable 150-kb plasmid from an Escherichia coliclinical isolate. The pI and Km for CAZ of this enzyme were 7.5 and 30 μM, respectively. SHV-24 was found to have a D179G substitution in the Ω-loop of the enzyme.
