blaTEM is one of the oldest and most widespread beta-lactamase families. TEM-1 confers resistance to ampicillin and amoxicillin, while ESBL variants of TEM also resist third-generation cephalosporins.
Detection of blaTEM in molecular susceptibility testing helps characterize beta-lactam resistance and guides antibiotic selection. Sample type is typically a culture isolate or direct clinical specimen.
