Various Extracts of Some Medicinal Plants as Inhibitors for Beta-lactamase Activity
مجلة بغداد للعلوم, 2021 The inhibitory effect of acetone, ethanol, and aqueous extracts of ten medicinal plants on β-lactamase from Staphylococcus sciuri and Klebsiella pneumoniae was investigated in vitro by starch-iodine agar plate method.

Distribution of β-lactamase genes of Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates in Zhejiang province, China, and regulation of gene expression [PDF]
Archives of Biological Sciences, 2017 Klebsiella pneumoniae is a common causative agent of nosocomial infections with a high level of resistance toward β-lactam antibiotics. Our previous study showed that TEM-1 and SHV-11 are the predominant β-lactamase-encoding genes of K ...

Virulence of non-β-lactamase-mediated ampicilin-resistantHaemophilus influenzae [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Letters, 1991 We questioned whether strains of ampicillin-resistant, non-β-lactamase-producing (AmpR NBLP) Haemophilus influenae with lower affinity penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) might have altered virulence. The virulence of resistant transformant strains and the susceptible recipient was compared using infant rats. Following intraperitoneal inoculation, there

LXA-1: a new plasmid-mediated β-lactamase giving low-level resistance [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Letters, 1988 LXA-1, a novel plasmid-mediated β-lactamase, was observed in clinical isolates of Klebsiella oxytoca, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Citrobacter freundii and Enterobacter cloacae. All the strains additionally produced TEM-1 β-lactamase. LXA-1 had an Mr of 24 000 and a pI of 6.7.

The Mechanisms of Catalysis by Metallo β-Lactamases [PDF]
, 2008 Class B β-lactamases or metallo-β-lactamases (MBLs) require zinc ions to catalyse the hydrolysis of β-lactam antibiotics such as penicillins, cephalosporins, carbapenems, and cephamycins.
