beta-Lactamases and beta-lactam resistance in Escherichia coli [PDF]
Escherichia coli strains determining 17 different plasmid-determined beta-lactamases were tested for resistance to new broad-spectrum beta-lactam antibiotics. Several beta-lactamases demonstrated enhanced resistance to cefamandole but only low-level resistance to other agents. High production of cloned E.

Beta‐lactam antibiotics: from antibiosis to resistance and bacteriology [PDF]
Kong K‐F, Schneper L, Mathee K. Beta‐lactam antibiotics: from antibiosis to resistance and bacteriology. APMIS 2010; 118: 1–36.This review focuses on the era of antibiosis that led to a better understanding of bacterial morphology, in particular the cell wall component peptidoglycan. This is an effort to take readers on a tour de force from the concept

Detection of Beta-lactamase gene in the culturable bacteria isolated from agricultural, pasture and mining soils around mines in Hamedan, Iran [PDF]
Introduction: Growing evidence exists that agriculture affects antibiotic resistance in human pathogens. Beta-lactam antibiotics are the most commonly used antimicrobial agents in many countries. The abundance of beta-lactamase encoding genes can be used
