Drug Resistance Mechanism of Enterobacteriaceae with Decreased Antibiotic Sensitivity by Fang Rong, Yuanyuan Sun, Xiao Li, Chenhao Zhang

“…The results showed that the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay titer of acrB antibody was 1:40,000, and the preparation of acrB antibody was successful. Plasmid-mediated deletion of IMP-1 metallo-β-lactamase binding outer membrane protein is one of the main reasons for the decrease of antibiotic sensitivity.…”
