Catalysis of the reaction: a cephalosporin + H2O = a substituted beta-amino acid derivative of the cephalosporin. Catalysis of the hydrolysis of any carbon-nitrogen bond, C-N, with the exception of peptide bonds. Catalysis of the reaction: a penicillin + H2O = a substituted beta-amino acid derivative of the penicillin. Catalysis of the hydrolysis of any non-peptide carbon-nitrogen bond in a cyclic amide. Catalysis of the reaction: a beta-lactam + H2O = a substituted beta-amino acid.
