General description
β-Lactamase (bL; EC 3.5.2.6) is an enzyme first identified in Escherichia coli and has been described as penicillinase. A number of βLs have since been identified from various bacteria. βLs specifically hydrolyze β-lactam rings present in antibiotics such as penicillin, cephalosporins, monobactam, and carbapenem, and confer resistance against these antibiotics.
Suitability
Suitable for the detection of β-lactamase activity in biological samples, food, and fermentation samples.
Principle
The β-Lactamase Activity Assay Kit provides a simple assay for measuring βL activity in βL-secreting bacteria in fermentation media and bacterial cultures. It can also be used to detect βL-secreting bacteria in saliva, urine, and serum of infected mammals and in food samples. βL activity is measured by hydrolyzing a chromogenic cephalosporin called nitrocefin, producing a colorimetric product (A490), proportional to the enzymatic activity present. One unit of β-lactamase is the amount of enzyme required to hydrolyze 1.0 μmole of nitrocefin per minute at pH 7.0 at 25 °C.

β-Lactamase expression is the major mechanism of resistance to penicillins, cephalosporins, and carbapenems in the multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacterium Acinetobacter baumannii. In fact, stable high-level expression of at least one β-lactamase has been rapidly increasing and reported to occur in up

Penicillin (PEN) is a low-cost option for anthrax treatment, but naturally occurring resistance has been reported. β-Lactamase expression (bla1, bla2) in Bacillus anthracis is regulated by a sigma factor (SigP) and its cognate anti-sigma factor (RsiP). Mutations leading to truncation
Class C β-lactamases operate at the diffusion limit for turnover of their preferred cephalosporin substrates.
