Two chromosome-encoded beta-lactamases have been purified from Citrobacter diversus ULA-27. They exhibited slightly different isoelectric points (6.8 and 6.2) and very similar Mr values (congruent to 29,000). Their specificity spectrum was rather wide, since they hydrolysed some cephalosporins with kcat:

A fluorescent probe (QA) based on quinine bearing two quaternary ammonium groups and a long hydrophobic chain was synthesized, and it showed highly selective recognition of carbenicillin (a typical beta-lactam antibiotic) in 100% aqueous solution via concerted interactions.

Bacteria are well known to form dormant persister cells that are tolerant to most antibiotics. Such intrinsic tolerance also facilitates the development of multidrug resistance through acquired mechanisms. Thus persister cells are a promising target for developing more effective methods
