AmpC enzyme is clinically important β- Lactamases, encoded on the chromosomes or plasmids of many Enterobacteriaceae and other organisms, mediate resistance to most penicillins and β- Lactamase inhibitor/ β- Combined resistance of lactam drugs. In many bacteria, AmpC enzyme is inducible and can be expressed at high levels by mutation. At the same time, the AmpC enzyme encoded by chromosome and plasmid genes is also evolving. Overexpression makes it resistant to a wide range of cephalosporins, including cefotaxime, ceftazidime and ceftriaxone. Even in some organisms, it is mutated by reducing influx (loss of outer membrane porin) or enhancing efflux (activation of efflux pump), It can be resistant to carbapenem antibiotics. In most parts of the world, although AmpC enzyme induced drug resistance is more broad-spectrum than production β- Lactamase (ESBL) is less, but it is more difficult to detect and has a wider range. Therefore, further research on AmpC is of great significance for guiding clinical detection and follow-up medication.
