Left FISH staining of TEM β-lactamase mRNA in resistant E. coli ( red ), ribosomal RNA staining of all Enterobacteriaceae ( green ) and DNA/DAPI staining of all bacteria in the sample. Right Antibody staining of TEM β-lactamases expressing E. coli ( green ) and DNA/DAPI staining of all bacteria in the sample
Article Snippet: Escherichia coli strain DH5α carrying either the high copy number plasmids pLitmus38 (AMP r ) and pUC18 (AMP r ) or the medium copy number vector pBR328 (AMP r , TET r , CHL r ) with a low plasmid stability were used as well as the E. coli reference strain ATCC 35218, a reference strain producing TEM-1 β-lactamases [ – ].
