Informations sur le produit

• Nom: VIM-15 (β-Lactamase)
• Marque: Biosynth
• Description: VIM-15 (β-Lactamase) is a metallo-β-lactamase enzyme, which is derived from bacterial sources, particularly Gram-negative bacteria. Its mode of action involves the hydrolysis of β-lactam antibiotics, facilitating bacterial resistance. This enzyme employs zinc ions as cofactors to break the β-lactam ring, rendering these antibiotics ineffective against the bacteria that produce the enzyme. The hydrolysis process disrupts the antibiotic's structural integrity, crucial for its antibacterial activity, thereby nullifying its therapeutic effects.
