title: Diversity of the bla(SHV) genes.
abstract: We investigated the diversity of nucleotide sequences of 297 SHV-encoding genes, based on nucleotide synonymous mutations and the presence or absence of the nonsynonymous mutation T92A. The analysis of this diversity allowed us to develop and propose a classification to differentiate the nucleotide sequence variants of the bla(SHV) genes.
