Beta lactamases are enzymes produced by certain bacteria that are able to inactivate Beta lactam antibiotics (phnicillins and cephalosporins)
Testing for Beta lactamase is not a very useful test
Direct Beta lactamase testing can be used as a rapid and effective method of detecting resistance to beta lactam antibiotics in strains of Staph.aureus, Haemophilus influenza, Neisseria gonorrhea and Moraxella catarrhalis
Beta lactamase test detects indole production
