Product Information
Name:VIM-15 (β-Lactamase)
Brand:Biosynth
Description:VIM-15 (β-Lactamase) is an enzyme product, specifically a metallo-beta-lactamase, which is sourced from certain resistant bacterial strains. This enzyme functions by hydrolyzing the beta-lactam ring of antibiotics, rendering them ineffective. The primary mode of action involves the coordination of zinc ions at its active site, enabling the breakdown of a broad spectrum of beta-lactam antibiotics including penicillins, cephalosporins, and carbapenems. This enzymatic activity significantly contributes to antibiotic resistance, posing a challenge in the treatment of bacterial infections. Its prevalence is noted in healthcare settings, where multidrug-resistant organisms are a concern. VIM-15 is of particular interest in clinical microbiology research and antimicrobial resistance studies, where understanding its structure and function can aid in the development of new inhibitors, potentially restoring the efficacy of beta-lactam antibiotics against resistant strains. Its characterization and study are critical for developing strategies to combat antibiotic-resistant infections effectively.
