Beta lactamases play a significant role in the high resistance of certain organinsms to penicillins, cephalosporins, cephamycins and carbapenems. These antibiotics have a common element in their molecular structure: a four-atom ring known as a beta-lactam. The lactamase enzyme breaks that ring open, deactivating the molecule’s antibacterial properties. Penicillinase resistant ß lactams have been developed, such as methicillin, although there is widespread resistance to these now also (MRSA).;Description:Rabbit Anti-Penicillinase Polyclonal Antibody;Host Species:Rabbit;Species Reactivity:Human;Isotype:IgG1;Application:ELISA, IEP;Storage:Store antibody products at 2-8°C.
