'''Beta-lactamase''' (Blac) are enzymes which make bacteria resistant to β-lactam antibiotics by breaking their β-lactam ring. Blac are classified according to their resistance targets.<br /> | '''Beta-lactamase''' (Blac) are enzymes which make bacteria resistant to β-lactam antibiotics by breaking their β-lactam ring.
