β-Lactamase Nomenclature

In the beginning, β-lactamases were designated by the name of the strain or plasmid that produced them, a practice that persists in such enzyme names as PC1 or P99. In 1975, the application of isoelectric focusing for β-lactamase characterization allowed many more enzymes to be distinguished ([84
