The expression of beta-lactamases in bacteria is a central cause of drug resistance. In this report, we present a beta-lactamase chemiluminescent probe, termed CCP, which can for the first time detect beta-lactamase activity via chemiluminescence and can detect beta lactamase with a sensitivity that is 4-orders of magnitude higher than the commercially available fluorescent lactamase substrate fluorocillin.
β-内酰胺酶在细菌中的表达是导致药物耐药性的主要原因。在本报告中,我们提出了一种β-内酰胺酶化学发光探针,称为 CCP,它可以首次通过化学发光检测β-内酰胺酶活性,并且可以检测β-内酰胺酶的灵敏度比市售的荧光内酰胺酶底物氟氯西林高 4 个数量级。
