Answer:

The production of beta-lactamase

Explanation:

Resistance is largely due to plasmid mediation with the most common mechanism being antibiotic hydrolysis. This is mediated by beta-lactamase(β-Lactamase) which converts penicillin to the inactive penicilloic. This conversion is enhanced by the acyl-enzyme intermediate,E-acyl.
