Product Information

• Name: KPC-1 (β-Lactamase)
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: KPC-1 (β-Lactamase) is an enzyme that breaks down β-lactam antibiotics, rendering them ineffective. It originates from strains of bacteria, particularly Klebsiella pneumoniae, which are significant sources of hospital-acquired infections. The mode of action involves hydrolyzing the β-lactam ring found in antibiotics such as penicillins and cephalosporins, neutralizing their antibacterial effects.
