Abstract
Oliognucleotide primers are provided that are specific for nucleic acid characteristic of certain AmpC beta-lactamases. The primers can be employed in methods to detect the presence or absence of an AmpC beta-lactamase gene in samples, and to identify nucleic acid characteristic of AmpC beta-lactamase genes in samples, particularly, in clinical isolates of Gram-negative bacteria.
