Nucleotide sequencing is the standard molecular method for determination of the ß-lactamase gene present in an isolate. Using minimal sequence quality values prevents misidentification of blaSHV genes, as illustrated by three strains of three different species that each contained two different blaSHV alleles, SHV-2 and SHV-12.
