Novel beta-lactamase from Branhamella catarrhalis.
A strain of Branhamella catarrhalis isolated from sputum was shown to be resistant to penicillin and ampicillin. This strain produced a beta-lactamase which has been judged to be a novel enzyme, on the basis of substrat profil, isoelectric point and location of genetic determinant.
