&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #33cccc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Overview&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #808080;&quot;&gt;This information is valuable for anticipating the resistance of beta-lactamase producing strains to beta-lactam antibiotics susceptible to hydrolysis. Beta-lactamases, enzymes produced by various bacteria, can deactivate certain penicillins and cephalosporins. The resistance varies depending on the bacterial strain and the antibiotic used. Notably, some antibiotics like cefazolin and cloxacillin resist hydrolysis by staphylococcal beta-lactamases. Key bacterial species, including Staphylococcus, Hemophilus influenzae, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Bacteroides, Enterococcus, and Moraxella catarrhalis, are commonly resistant to penicillins due to beta-lactamase production. Therefore, when isolated from critical samples like blood or spinal fluid, these strains should be tested for beta-lactamase production. Combining a beta-lactamase inhibitor with a beta-lactam antibiotic can restore its effectiveness.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
