title: New variant of TEM-10 beta-lactamase gene produced by a clinical isolate of proteus mirabilis.
abstract: A clinical isolate of Proteus mirabilis was found to produce a new variant of the TEM-10 beta-lactamase gene. This is the first report of TEM-10 production by P. mirabilis and the first report of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase production by an isolate of this species recovered in the United States.
