The 26 pages that link to Beta-lactamase, each with the reason it gives.

• Antibiotic resistanceRelated: Enzymatic drug destruction is a widespread route to resistance.

• PenicillinRelated: Bacteria producing these enzymes can destroy penicillin before it reaches its targets.

• Gram-negative bacteriaRelated: Periplasmic beta-lactamases can destroy drugs before they reach their targets.

• CephalosporinRelated: Many β-lactamases inactivate cephalosporins before they reach their targets.

• CeftriaxoneRelated: Some beta-lactamases can inactivate ceftriaxone before it reaches its targets.

• CefazolinRelated: Beta-lactamases can destroy cefazolin before it reaches its targets.

• AztreonamRelated: These enzymes can break down aztreonam and limit its activity.

• CeftazidimeRelated: These enzymes can hydrolyze ceftazidime and make bacteria resistant.

• CefiximeRelated: Some beta-lactamases can hydrolyze cefixime and undermine treatment.

• Clavulanic acidRelated: Clavulanic acid inhibits many of these enzymes, protecting susceptible antibiotics.

• AmpicillinRelated: Beta-lactamase production is a common reason bacteria resist ampicillin.

• CefalexinRelated: Some beta-lactamases can make bacteria resistant to cefalexin.

• CefuroximeRelated: Some beta-lactamases can break down cefuroxime and reduce its effectiveness.

• CloxacillinRelated: Cloxacillin’s bulky side chain resists many staphylococcal forms of this enzyme.

• MeropenemRelated: Some beta-lactamases hydrolyze meropenem and confer resistance.
