Prevalence of plasmid-mediated AmpC beta-lactamases in Enterobacteria isolated from urban and rural folks in Uganda [version 1; peer review: 1 approved, 2 approved with reservations]

Background: AmpC beta-lactamase-producing bacteria are associated with increased resistance to third-generation cephalosporins.
