Class C β-lactamases are a subcategory of β-lactamase enzymes. These enzymes are produced by some bacteria and result in their resistance to a variety of β-lactam antibiotics. β-lactam antibiotics are classified based on their chemical structure which contains a four membered, amide containing ring known as the β-lactam ring. Class C β-lactamases specifically target [http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cephalosporin cephalosporin] antibiotics and deactivate their antimicrobial activity by hydrolyzing the [http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Β-lactam β-lactam ring]. | '''Class C β-lactamases''' are a subcategory of β-lactamase enzymes.
