General description
β-Lactamase produced by bacteria shares sequence homology to penicillin-binding proteins. This enzyme is found in Gram-negative bacteria. β-Lactamases have four molecular classes, named A, B, C, and D. A, C, and D form an acyl-enzyme via active site serine residue. Class B β-lactamases are metalloenzymes, which have a zinc ion at their active site for β-lactam hydrolysis.
Biochem/physiol Actions
β-Lactamase hydrolyzes β-lactum antibiotics and is the chief cause of resistance to β-lactam antibiotics development by bacteria. Mutations in the β-lactamases are associated with extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs).
Warning
Toxicity: Harmful (C)
Unit Definition
One unit is defined as the amount of enzyme that will hydrolyze 1.0 µmol benzyl penicillin and 1.0 µmol of cephalosporin C, respectively, per min at 25°C.
Reconstitution
Following reconstitution, store in the refrigerator (4°C). Stock solutions are stable for up to 1 month at 4°C.

Antibiotic resistance is a problem of deep scientific concern both in hospital and community settings. Rapid detection in clinical laboratories is essential for the judicious recognition of antimicrobial resistant organisms. Production of extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs) is a significant resistance-mechanism that

Two classification schemes for beta-lactamases are currently in use. The molecular classification is based on the amino acid sequence and divides beta-lactamases into class A, C, and D enzymes which utilize serine for beta-lactam hydrolysis and class B metalloenzymes which

β-Lactamases, the major resistance determinant for β-lactam antibiotics in Gram-negative bacteria, are ancient enzymes whose origins can be traced back millions of years ago. These well-studied enzymes, currently numbering almost 2,800 unique proteins, initially emerged from environmental sources, most likely

Beta-lactamases continue to be the leading cause of resistance to beta-lactam antibiotics among gram-negative bacteria. In recent years there has been an increased incidence and prevalence of extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBLs), enzymes that hydrolyze and cause resistance to oxyimino-cephalosporins and aztreonam.
