A strain of Moraxella catarrhalis is able to grow on agar containing the antibiotic amoxicillin. You suspect this strain may contain the enzyme B-lactamase which inactivates amoxicillin, making it ineffective as an antibiotic. You grow the same strain in media containing amoxicillin and clavulanic acid (a B-lactamase inhibitor). What do expect the results to be; growth or no growth?
