Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Penicillin-resistant bacteria produce the enzyme "F1F1F1S1F1F1F10-lactamase", which breaks down the β-lactam ring of penicillin, rendering it ineffective. Peptidase and transpeptidase are not specifically associated with penicillin resistance, and "F1F1F1S1F1F1F10-galactosidase" is not a known enzyme.
