In this paper, we first construct a b-metric, which is a special type of C * -algebra-valued b-metrics, from a given C * -algebra-valued b-metric and prove some equivalences between them. Then we show that not only fixed point results but also topological properties in C * -algebravalued b-metric spaces may be deduced from certain results in b-metric spaces. In particular, every C * -algebra-valued b-metric space is metrizable.
