Cephalosporinase, with the CAS number 9012-26-4, is an enzyme that belongs to the class of beta-lactamases, specifically responsible for the hydrolysis of cephalosporin antibiotics. This enzyme is produced by various bacteria as a mechanism of resistance against beta-lactam antibiotics, which include penicillins and cephalosporins. Cephalosporinases can vary in their substrate specificity and can be classified into different groups based on their amino acid sequences and functional characteristics. They typically exhibit a broad spectrum of activity against cephalosporins, rendering these antibiotics ineffective. The presence of cephalosporinase in bacterial strains poses significant challenges in clinical settings, as it contributes to antibiotic resistance, complicating treatment options for infections. Understanding the characteristics and mechanisms of cephalosporinases is crucial for developing new antibiotics and inhibitors to combat resistant bacterial infections. Additionally, research into these enzymes aids in the design of diagnostic tools to identify resistant strains in clinical microbiology.
