β-Lactamase is encoded on plasmid pACK3 inStaphylococcus simulansbiovarstaphylolyticus [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Letters, 1991 Abstract Staphylococcus simulans biovar staphylolyticus , the lysostaphin-producing organism, contains five plasmids designated pACK1 through pACK5. Hybridization analysis using cloned β-lactamase gene ( bla ) as probe and characterization of cured strains revealed that bla resides on pACK3 rather than on the lysostaphin endopeptidase plasmid ...

PLoS ONE, 2021 β-lactam antibiotics are the most widely used antimicrobial agents since the discovery of benzylpenicillin in the 1920s. Unfortunately, these life-saving antibiotics are vulnerable to inactivation by continuously evolving β-lactamase enzymes that are ...

Mutation of serine residue 318 in the class C β-lactamase ofEnterobacter cloacae908R [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Letters, 1992 The involvement of the serine residue 318 in the specificity of a class C β-lactamase was investigated. Multiple site-directed mutants at this position were generated using a polymerase chain reaction technique. These mutants were then probed for their activity towards various β-lactam compounds.

One origin for metallo-β-lactamase activity, or two? An investigation assessing a diverse set of reconstructed ancestral sequences based on a sample of phylogenetic trees [PDF]
, 2014 This work was supported by BBSRC (grant BB/F016778/1)Bacteria use metallo-β-lactamase enzymes to hydrolyse lactam rings found in many antibiotics, rendering them ineffective.

SUSCEPTIBILITY AND DETECTION OF EXTENDED SPECTRUM β-LACTAMASE ENZYMES FROM OTITIS MEDIA PATHOGENS [PDF]
American Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2013 Otitis media is the bacterial infection of the middle ear usually accompanied with inflammation, effusions and pain. It can present clinically in two major forms: Acute Otitis Media (AOM) and Otitis Media with Effusion (OME) and it is one of the leading cause of hospital visits and antibiotic prescriptions amongst children and even adults.
