Abstract
It is known that penicillin resistance of bacteria is mainly caused by the inactivation of penicillin by penicillinase derived from such strains. We have developed a screening procedure for penicillinase inhibitors. Several microorganisms were found to produce such inhibitors, and from the culture filtrate of
Streptomyces gedanensis
ATCC 4880 a penicillinase inhibitor, named KA-107, was isolated. The characteristics of this inhibitor were revealed by an in vitro test by using penicillinase derived from penicillin resistant
Staphylococcus aureus
, FS-1277. When KA-107 was used in combination with penicillin-G, ampicillin,
d
- or
l
-phenethicillin, the growth inhibitory activity of these penicillins was maintained.
