    Abstract

    Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates frequently contain complex mixtures of blaSHV alleles. A high-resolution melting-based method for interrogating the extended-spectrum activity conferring codon 238 and 240 polymorphisms was developed. This detects minority extended-spectrum ?-lactamase-encoding alleles, allows estimation of allele ratios, and discriminates between single and double mutants.
