β-lactam antibiotics are the most widely used antimicrobial agents since the discovery of benzylpenicillin in the 1920s. Unfortunately, these life-saving antibiotics are vulnerable to inactivation by continuously evolving β-lactamase enzymes that are ...

The β-lactamase enzyme is a leading cause of drug resistance developed by bacteria. The combination of β-lactam (BL) antibiotics with an appropriate β-lactamase inhibitor (BLI) is a fundamental approach used to circumvent the problem of β-lactamase ...

Activity of OP0595-β-lactam combination against Gram-negative bacteria with extended-spectrum, AmpC and carbapenem-hydrolysing β-lactama [PDF]
Background: OP0595 is a diazabicyclooctane that (i) acts as a PBP2-ctive antibacterial, (ii) inhibits Class A and C β-lactamases and (iii), like mecillinam, gives β-lactamase-independent potentiation of β-lactams targeting other PBPs.
