The beta-lactamase inducing properties of various new beta-lactam antibiotics in two isogenic strains of Enterobacter cloacae were investigated. Beta-lactamase activity was measured two hours after addition of inducer to cells in the late logarithmic growth-phase. Beta-lactamase expression was highly dependent on the growth medium used, highest levels being obtained after induction with cefoxitin in Tryptic Soy broth, Mueller-Hinton broth and Nutrient broth. Upon induction the mutant 908 Ssi produced tenfold higher beta-lactamase levels than its parent wild type 908 Swi. Among the new antibiotics investigated, sulfoxides of several oxyimino-cephalosporins, HR 810, cefetamet, cefteram, carumonam and BRL 36650 were moderate or poor inducers. The penem FCE 22101 resembled imipenem in its strong inducing properties.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D009154 Mutation Any detectable and heritable change in the genetic material that causes a change in the GENOTYPE and which is transmitted to daughter cells and to succeeding generations. Mutations
D003470 Culture Media Any liquid or solid preparation made specifically for the growth, storage, or transport of microorganisms or other types of cells. The variety of media that exist allow for the culturing of specific microorganisms and cell types, such as differential media, selective media, test media, and defined media. Solid media consist of liquid media that have been solidified with an agent such as AGAR or GELATIN. Media, Culture
D004754 Enterobacter Gram-negative gas-producing rods found in feces of humans and other animals, sewage, soil, water, and dairy products.
D004755 Enterobacteriaceae A family of gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped bacteria that do not form endospores. Its organisms are distributed worldwide with some being saprophytes and others being plant and animal parasites. Many species are of considerable economic importance due to their pathogenic effects on agriculture and livestock. Coliform Bacilli,Enterobacteria,Ewingella,Leclercia,Paracolobactrum,Sodalis
D004790 Enzyme Induction An increase in the rate of synthesis of an enzyme due to the presence of an inducer which acts to derepress the gene responsible for enzyme synthesis. Induction, Enzyme

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
D047090 beta-Lactams Four-membered cyclic AMIDES, best known for the PENICILLINS based on a bicyclo-thiazolidine, as well as the CEPHALOSPORINS based on a bicyclo-thiazine, and including monocyclic MONOBACTAMS. The BETA-LACTAMASES hydrolyze the beta lactam ring, accounting for BETA-LACTAM RESISTANCE of infective bacteria. beta-Lactam,4-Thia-1-Azabicyclo(3.2.0)Heptanes,4-Thia-1-Azabicyclo(4.2.0)Octanes,beta Lactam,beta Lactams
