Novel method for detection of beta-lactamases by using a chromogenic cephalosporin substrate.
A new cephalosporin with a highly reactive beta-lactam ring was found to give an immediate color change in the presence of beta-lactamases from many bacteria, including staphylococci, Bacillus species, Enterobacteriaceae, and Pseudomonas. The reaction is confined to organisms producing beta-lactamases, but it is sufficiently sensitive to indicate the presence of this enzyme is small amounts in ...
متن کاملCENTA as a Chromogenic Substrate for Studying β-Lactamases
CENTA, a chromogenic cephalosporin, is readily hydrolyzed by β-lactamases of all classes except for the Aeromonas hydrophila metalloenzyme. Although it cannot practically be used for the detection of β-lactamaseproducing strains on agar plates, it should be quite useful for kinetic studies and the detection of the enzymes in crude extracts and chromatographic fractions. Nitrocefin and, to a les...
متن کاملSusceptible Chromogenic Cephalosporin Reagent
CENTA is a newly synthesized, beta-lactamase-labile, chromogenic cephalosporin reagent which changes color from light yellow (K maximum ca. 340 nm) to chrome yellow (A maximum ca. 405 nm) concomitant with hydrolysis of the betalactam ring. This compound offers promise as a diagnostic reagent comparable to other chromogens (PADAC and nitrocefin) for the early detection of betalactamase-producing...
متن کاملDetection of CTX-M-β Lactamases form Isolated Klebsiella pneumoniae
Background and Objective: Organisms producing CTX-M β-lactamases are emerging as a source of resistance to oxyiminocefalosporins such as ceftriaxone and ceftazidime. However, the laboratory detection of these strains is not well defined. In this study, phenotypic assay for screening of extended-spectrum β-lactamases producing strains and molecular assay for the identification of CTX-M β-lact...
متن کاملA Novel Passive Method for Islanding Detection in Microgrids
Integration of distributed generations (DGs) in power grids is expected to play an essential role in the infrastructure and market of electrical power systems. Microgrids are small energy systems, capable of balancing captive supply and requesting resources to retain stable service within a specific boundary. Microgrids can operate in grid-connected or islanding modes. Effective islanding detec...
