Structural and functional studies of proteins involved in the AmpC β-lactamase induction pathway

Inducible chomosomal AmpC β-lactamase (AmpC) is present in many Gram-negative opportunistic human pathogens. Expressed in response to β-lactam antibiotics, AmpC is an enzyme that can deactivate an extended spectrum of β-lactam antibiotics and thereby promote bacterial survival. Inducible chromosom...
