(19) This conclusion is based on the following evidence: (a) Ca(2+) stimulated hydrolysis of cyclic GMP by fraction II more than that of cyclic AMP.
(20) An efficient numerical algorithm based on the cyclic coordinate search method to solve the latter is explained.
Lactam
Definition:
(n.) One of a series of anhydrides of an amido type, analogous to the lactones, as oxindol.
Example Sentences:
(1) An antagonism is unlikely when ciprofloxacin is combined with one of the beta-lactams studied or with tobramycin.

(3) Cefuzoname seems to be among the middle ranks of beta-lactam agents as far as penetration rate is concerned; however, when its potent antibacterial activity and broad spectrum are taken into account, the concentrations in CSF in patients with meningitis seem worth examining.
(4) Key therapeutic questions are whether beta-lactams can safely replace aminoglycosides for the treatment of gram-negative pneumonia, and whether monotherapy or aminoglycoside and beta-lactam combination antibiotic treatment is superior.
(5) A novel screening procedure led to isolation of the structurally unique, bacterially produced, monocyclic beta-lactam antibiotics early in 1979.
(6) Unlike most other beta-lactam antibiotics, imipenem does not show cross-resistance in the presence of intrinsic resistance.
(7) Owing to its broad spectrum of action (covering both gram-positive and gram-negative microorganisms and anaerobes) and its consistently strong molar action, mezlocillin is well suited as a beta-lactam combination component for intensive care patients.
(8) The addition of chloramphenicol to amino acid-deprived cultures of relA+ strains of Escherichia coli which were treated with beta-lactam antibiotics, D-cycloserine, or moenomycin resulted in lysis.

(14) Paradoxical response to bactericidal activity of beta-lactams was abolished by incubation of the inoculum with 2 x MIC before exposure to higher antibiotic concentrations.
(15) Results showed that resistance to imipenem may be related to loss or modifications in hydrophobicity of an outer membrane protein of about 46 Kdal; other modifications concerned hydrophobicity of the porin OMP F and, in one strain, the LPS complex appears to be responsible for resistance to other beta-lactam antibiotics together in combination with the production of beta-lactamases.
