As we all know, the chromosomes of Escherichia coli, Shigella and Acinetobacter baumannii contain the non-inducible ampC gene. For these organisms, there is usually a promoter or attenuator mutation to control the expression of ampC gene [17]. However, some high-level AmpC enzymes have been found in recent years, which may be due to the existence of a stronger promoter or the mutation of the original promoter, which makes the ampC attenuator no longer stable. Notably, the diversity caused by mutation and the over-expression caused by antibiotic induction of these enzymes are evolving to give resistance to various β -lactam antibiotics. Therefore, it is urgent to develop new antibiotics and new antibacterial treatment strategies.
