Abstract:
A new antibacterially active agent has been isolated from Streptomyces clavuligerus. This new compound which is designated clavulanic acid has the formula (I): ##STR1## In addition to being a broad spectrum antibiotic of medium potency, clavulanic acid and its salts and esters have the ability to enhance the effectiveness of .beta.-lactam antibiotics against many .beta.-lactamase producing bacteria.
Abstract:
A computational method maximizing open reading frame length in an assembly consensus sequence is provided. Systems employing the method are also provided.
Abstract:
The invention provides asnS polypeptides and DNA (RNA) encoding asnS polypetides and methods for producing such polypeptides by recombinant techniques. Also provided are methods for utilizing asnS polypeptides to screen for antibacterial compounds.
Abstract:
This invention relates to novel formulations of salts of certain benzopyran compounds, to compositions containing them and their use in the treatment of certain disorders.
Abstract:
This invention relates to a method of treating bacterial infections in humans or animals comprising administering, in combination with a .beta.-lactam antibiotic, a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of formula (I). ##STR1##
