Product Information

• Name: KPC-1 (β-Lactamase)
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: KPC-1 (β-Lactamase) is a specialized enzyme, which is produced by certain Gram-negative bacteria, notably Klebsiella pneumoniae. It functions by hydrolyzing the β-lactam ring found in a wide range of β-lactam antibiotics, such as penicillins and cephalosporins. This enzymatic action effectively neutralizes the antibiotic's antimicrobial properties, rendering the drugs ineffective against bacteria that produce KPC-1.
