Popis: An algorithm for step-by-step identification of blaCTX-M genes determining the resistance to cephalosporins III–IV in gram-negative bacteria is developed. The algorithm allows identification of 49 genes out of 96, which are already present in the GenBank database. The remaining 47 genes are identified in several small groups of 2 to 6 genes, excluding the blaCTX-M-14-like subgroup, which comprises 13 genes. The blaCTX-M genes’ identification is carried out with two-step restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis (PCR-RFLP) of a 544-bp-long PCR-product.
