Abstract
This invention is directed to the elucidation of DNA sequences encoding Class B beta-lactamase enzymes from Bacteroides fragilis and the amino acid sequences of those enzymes. This invention is also directed to screening methods for identifying antibiotics which are resistant to such beta-lactamase enzymes or for identifying compounds which inactivate such beta-lactamase enzymes.
