Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess how effective β-lactam antibiotics, like ampicillin and cefazolin, are against a mix of clinically important gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, particularly in the presence of bacterial enzymes called β-lactamases that can inactivate these drugs.
- Researchers tested various bacterial isolates in experiments to see how well these antibiotics worked alone and when bacteria with different β-lactamase production profiles were present.
- The results showed that the effectiveness of both antibiotics decreased significantly in the presence of β-lactamase-producing bacteria, highlighting how these enzymes can protect other bacteria from antibiotic treatment.
