Detection and reporting of
beta lactamases producer is responsibility of every clinical Microbiologist.
Emerging therapeutic problem faced by most of the clinicians and microbiologist is the presence of Plasmid mediated Amp C
beta lactamases in the microorganisms commonly isolated from various clinical specimens.
