Adapted and modified from Bush [68].c= Based on hydrolysis of cefotaxime, ceftazidime, or cefepime. e= In spite of kcat values generally B1 s-1, resistance to cefepime and cefpirome is seen in producing organisms. g= Includes subclasses B1 and B3. Y= kcat >5 s-1, N= kcat <5 s-1, V= variable within the functional group.
