General description
β-Lactamase is a monomeric enzyme of 29 kDa. This product is produced from Enterobacter cloacae and is provided as a lyophilized powder. It acts as a target protein for β-lactam antibiotics. This enzyme is present in Gram-negative bacteria.
Application
β-Lactamase from Enterobacter cloacae has been used in the maternal and fetal quantitative blood cultures to avoid any carryover phenomenon. It has also been used as a component in Mueller Hinton (MH) broth for placental cultures.
β--lactamase is used to inactivate β-lactam antibiotics by breaking open the β-lactam ring. β--lactamase is used to study antibiotic resistance and resistance suppression. Product P4524 is produced from Enterobacter cloacae and is provided as a lyophilized powder.
Biochem/physiol Actions
β--lactamase inactivates β-lactam antibiotics by breaking open the β-lactam ring.
Physical form
Lyophilized powder containing sodium phosphate buffer salts
Analysis Note
Protein determined by biuret.
Other Notes
One unit will hydrolyze 1.0 μmole of benzylpenicillin per min at pH 7.0 at 25 °C. This International Unit (using benzylpenicillin as substrate) is approximately equal to 600 Levy or 75 Pollock units.
