Penicillinase resistant penicillins
What are Penicillinase resistant penicillins?
Penicillinase resistant penicillins are antibiotics, which are not inactivated by the penicillinase enzyme. Some bacteria produce the enzyme penicillinase that destroys the beta-lactam ring of the antibiotic, making the penicillin ineffective. Penicillinase resistant penicillins are used to treat resistant strains of staphylococci and other infections.
