Three methods for demonstrating the production of beta-lactamase in resistant strains of Staphylococcus aureus were compared. The "satellite phenomenon" method proved to be more sensitive than the nitrocefin test and the iodometric test.

D001618	beta-Lactamases	Enzymes found in many bacteria which catalyze the hydrolysis of the amide bond in the beta-lactam ring. Well known antibiotics destroyed by these enzymes are penicillins and cephalosporins.	beta-Lactamase,beta Lactamase,beta Lactamases
D013211	Staphylococcus aureus	Potentially pathogenic bacteria found in nasal membranes, skin, hair follicles, and perineum of warm-blooded animals. They may cause a wide range of infections and intoxications.
