Abstract

See full text

An composition, method and system for identifying novel antimicrobial agents including the steps of, displaying a .beta.-lactamase inhibitor protein on a virus, contacting the virus with a .beta.-lactamase binding protein target, selecting for the virus that has a higher affinity for the target and testing the .beta.-lactamase inhibitor protein for antimicrobial activity, is disclosed. The invention also includes a nucleic acid encoding a fusion protein comprising a .beta.-lactamase inhibitor protein and an affinity carrier and the protein expressed therefrom. Mutant .beta.-lactamase inhibitor proteins may be produced, characterized, isolated and expressed in prokaryotic cells and used as antimicrobial agents.
