TEM-E1: a novel β-lactamase conferring resistance to ceftazidime [PDF]
A novel β-lactamase, conferring resistance to ceftazidime, has been identified to be encoded by a 31 kb plasmid (pUK720) in a clinical E. coli strain isolated in Belgium. The β-lactamase, new designated TEM-E1, has a pI of approximately 5.4 and lies in between the iso-electric focused bands of the β-lactamases TEM-1 and TEM-7.

Identification and characterization of a novel β-lactamase TLE-2, encoded by plasmid pUK702 [PDF]
A novel plasmid-mediated β-lactamase has been identified in a Klebsiella pneumoniae strain, carried by a plasmid pUK702. The pUK702 plasmid encodes TEM-1 and SHV-1 β-lactamase enzymes in addition to the novel enzyme. The novel enzyme has an Mr of 19 000 and a pI of 6.5. The enzyme is TEM-like in substrate profile and has been designated TLE-2 (TEM-like

Virulence of non-β-lactamase-mediated ampicilin-resistantHaemophilus influenzae [PDF]
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]
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.

Investigation of beta-lactase enzymes in chromosomal bacilli isolated from diarrhea in children [PDF]
Thirty clinical isolates of gram negative bacilli isolated from diarrhea cases in children aged ≤5 years were investigated for the presence of β-lactamases, and it was found that 21 (70%) of them contain these enzymes.

The Mechanisms of Catalysis by Metallo β-Lactamases [PDF]
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.
