2 This study examined the distribution of the closely related blaTEM transposons Tn1, Tn2 and Tn3, or blaTEM-containing fragments of them, in ampicillin-resistant human commensal Escherichia coli isolates. Ampicillin TEM-1 beta-lactamase Escherichia coli
3 RESULTS: Of 25 ampicillin-resistant E. coli strains recovered from the faecal flora of healthy humans that carried the blaTEM gene, 15 carried a complete copy of Tn2 or a Tn2 variant; one was interrupted by IS4. Ampicillin TEM-1 beta-lactamase Escherichia coli
