Concomitant with the extensive use of antibiotics, the number of multiple antibiotic-resistant strains has been increasing. Since resistance is mainly mediated by R plasmids, we undertook to investigate the characteristics of R plasmid-determined beta-lactamase in 6 Gram-negative rods. The beta-lactamase produced by each organism was classified by its substrate: type P which attacks penicillins, type C which attacks cephalosporins, and type C/P which attacks both penicillins and cephalosporins. Though the chromosomally mediated beta-lactamase of almost all Gram-negative rods is classified as type C, R plasmid-mediated beta-lactamase is almost equally active against both penicillins and cephalosporins. Therefore, we suggest that type C/P beta-lactamase was mediated by R plasmids in Gram-negative rods which already produced chromosomally mediated type C beta-lactamase. The strains which produced type C/P beta-lactamase tended to be more resistant to antibiotics than the other beta-lactamase producing strains. Among type C/P strains, the sensitivity to cephalosporins varied with the bacterial species, whereas all these strains were highly resistant to penicillins. Even for piperacillin, which is stable to cephalosporinase, the MIC at which the cumulative percentage of strains inhibited was 50% (MIC50) was over 50 micrograms/ml in all strains tested.

Bacillus pneumoniae,Bacterium pneumoniae crouposae,Hyalococcus pneumoniae,Klebsiella pneumoniae aerogenes,Klebsiella rhinoscleromatis
D009070 Moxalactam Broad- spectrum beta-lactam antibiotic similar in structure to the CEPHALOSPORINS except for the substitution of an oxaazabicyclo moiety for the thiaazabicyclo moiety of certain CEPHALOSPORINS. It has been proposed especially for the meningitides because it passes the blood-brain barrier and for anaerobic infections. 1-Oxacephalosporin,6059-S,Disodium Latamoxef,Disodium Moxalactam,Festamoxin,Lamoxactam,Latamoxef,Lilly 127935,Ly-127935,Ly127935,Moxalactam Disodium,S-6059,Shiomarin,1 Oxacephalosporin,6059 S,6059S,Disodium, Moxalactam,Latamoxef, Disodium,Ly 127935,Moxalactam, Disodium,S 6059,S6059
D010400 Penicillin G A penicillin derivative commonly used in the form of its sodium or potassium salts in the treatment of a variety of infections. It is effective against most gram-positive bacteria and against gram-negative cocci. It has also been used as an experimental convulsant because of its actions on GAMMA-AMINOBUTYRIC ACID mediated synaptic transmission.
