    摘要: It is essential to have efficient, simple, quick and transportable tools for reliably identifying bacteria that are multiresistant to antibiotics, more specifically extended spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Enterobacteriaceae, which are the most widespread among Enterobacteriaceae. The present invention meets this requirement through its ease of use and its speed. The invention is based on detecting the enzyme activity of β-lactam hydrolysis using an antibody capable of discriminating between the intact form of the β-lactam ring of a β-lactam and its hydrolysis product. This antibody can be used in kits and methods enabling for rapidly detecting (in less than one hour), without using expensive equipment (a small strip visible to the naked eye), the presence of bacteria producing penicillin-type, plasmid-mediated or hyper-produced AmpC enzymes, of ESBL or carbapenemase from colonies or in a sample.

    摘要: Provided is a ramp tag capable of solving instability in translation rate resulting from poor compatibility between codons in a foreign gene and a host when expressing a recombinant protein in E. coli. Unlike the conventional codon optimization or codon deoptimization method for solving the problem of rare codons, the present invention increases an expression efficiency of a target protein by merely having the ramp tag be fused with a target gene or independently expressed, without changing the original codon sequence, thereby allowing tRNA to be reused. Thus, the present invention provides a novel method for increasing recombinant protein expression which is capable of reducing costs and time in comparison to the codon optimization method that artificially synthesizes DNA sequences. Therefore, it is expected that the method of the present invention will be able to be used in production of high value-added pharmaceuticals or industrial enzymes.
