Abstract
This study investigated the aBL effects on bacterial species carrying β-lactamase genes and alterations in β-lactamase activity following aBL. In addition, we assessed the β-lactamase and protein damage induced by aBL and the bactericidal effect of aBL combined with a β-lactam antibiotic. Our finds demonstrate that aBL can effectively kill strains carrying β-lactamase genes and reduce the β-lactamase activity. We also demonstrated the role of porphyrins on the photoreaction promoted by aBL and the resulting protein damage. Additionally, ceftazidime activity was significantly improved by aBL in a Metallo-β-lactamase strain. Our finds support the aBL against the β-lactamases and encourage future outcomes.
