Controlled Release of Plectasin NZ2114 from a Hybrid Silicone-Hydrogel Material for Inhibition of Staphylococcus aureus Biofilm.

abstract：:A beta-lactamase was purified from Serratia marcescens GN16694; it hydrolyzed T-5575 and oxime-type cephalosporins, i.e., cefuroxime and ceftazidime. Its isoelectric point and molecular weight were 8.6 and 42,000, respectively. This enzyme was not inhibited by EDTA and clavulanic acid. This enzyme is an unusual beta-l...
