Difference between Beta-lactamase and Penicillin

Beta-lactamase vs. Penicillin

Beta-lactamases are enzymes produced by bacteria that provide multi-resistance to β-lactam antibiotics such as penicillins, cephalosporins, cephamycins, and carbapenems (ertapenem), although carbapenems are relatively resistant to beta-lactamase. Penicillin (PCN or pen) is a group of antibiotics which include penicillin G (intravenous use), penicillin V (use by mouth), procaine penicillin, and benzathine penicillin (intramuscular use).

Similarities between Beta-lactamase and Penicillin

Beta-lactamase and Penicillin have 21 things in common (in Unionpedia): Amide, Aminoglycoside, Amoxicillin, Ampicillin, Antibiotic, Antimicrobial resistance, Carbapenem, Cephalosporin, Clavulanic acid, Cloxacillin, Enzyme, Gram-negative bacteria, Haemophilus influenzae, Hydrolysis, Mecillinam, Methicillin, Oxacillin, Sulbactam, Tazobactam, Temocillin, Ticarcillin.

Amide

An amide (or or), also known as an acid amide, is a compound with the functional group RnE(O)xNR′2 (R and R′ refer to H or organic groups).

Aminoglycoside

Aminoglycoside is a medicinal and bacteriologic category of traditional Gram-negative antibacterial therapeutic agents that inhibit protein synthesis and contain as a portion of the molecule an amino-modified glycoside (sugar); the term can also refer more generally to any organic molecule that contains aminosugar substructures.

Antibiotic

An antibiotic (from ancient Greek αντιβιοτικά, antibiotiká), also called an antibacterial, is a type of antimicrobial drug used in the treatment and prevention of bacterial infections.
