...As new b-lactams and b-lactamase inhibitors have been introduced, selective pressure on clinical species expressing b-lactamases has driven their evolution such that for any given b-lactam, a b-lactamase now exists that is capable of inactivating it [28, 29]....

...A second system that classifies the b-lactamases by spectrum of activity and resistance to b-lactamase inhibitors was described by Bush and colleagues [28, 29], though the molecular (Ambler) classification system is referred to in this paper....
