Beta-lactamase induced Explanation: Shai is right about the translation, but the induced at the beginning does not make sense. I'm pretty sure that if we were given more context, the induced would be last. Just try Googling both phrases and see what you come up with. Also, beta-lactamase should be hyphenated. |

Induced lactamase Explanation: Induced. widely used in regard to enzymes and other components. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 5 mins (2008-02-29 23:49:13 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I just noticed that I missed the Beta part. So the whole translation should be - Induced beta-lactamase -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 17 hrs (2008-03-01 17:09:41 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- In regard to Keren's answer. Induced means that something, for example,component X is causing the formation of component Y. In general, without X there is no Y (not completely true, but for the sake of this question lets assume this). The enzyme Beta-lactamase is induced by other compound (which the asker did not specify), so I think that the induced should be placed in front of the beta-lactamase. What keren suggests is that the beta-lactamase itself is inducing something else. So there is a big difference. from the Hebrew that the asker has wrote I understand that the Beta-lacamase is the compound that get induced and not the other way around. So maybe more context, as Keren suggested, will shed some more light |
