An additional disadvantage with many penicillin and cephalosporin antibiotics is that bacteria have developed resistance to the drugs by producing enzymes capable of hydrolysing the P-lactam ring these enzymes are called P-lactamases. This type of resistance still poses serious problems. Indeed, methicillin is no longer used, and antibiotic-resistant strains of the most common infective bacterium Staphylococcus aureus are commonly referred to as MRSA (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus). The action of P-lactamase enzymes resembles simple base hydrolysis of an amide. [Pg.266]
