Identification of 76 novel B1 metallo-β-lactamases through large-scale screening of genomic and metagenomic data

open access: yesMicrobiome, 2017
Background Metallo-β-lactamases are bacterial enzymes that provide resistance to carbapenems, the most potent class of antibiotics. These enzymes are commonly encoded on mobile genetic elements, which, together with their broad substrate spectrum and ...

Some aspects of general characteristic and classification of bacterial β-lactamases

open access: yesVìsnik Dnìpropetrovsʹkogo Unìversitetu: Serìâ Bìologìâ, Ekologìâ, 2009
Main structural and functional groups of bacterial β-lactamases are cited in the data review. Modern systems of classification, which was based on spectra of activity, sensitivity to inhibitors and peculiarities of molecular structure are described.

Fungal Lactamases: Their Occurrence and Function

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2017
Fungi are absorptive feeders and thus must colonize and ramify through their substrate to survive. In so doing they are in competition, particularly in the soil, with myriad microbes.

Bicyclic Boronate VNRX-5133 Inhibits Metallo- and Serine-β-Lactamases

open access: yes, 2019
The bicyclic boronate VNRX-5133 (taniborbactam) is a new type of β-lactamase inhibitor in clinical development. We report that VNRX-5133 inhibits serine-β-lactamases (SBLs) and some clinically important metallo-β-lactamases (MBLs), including NDM-1 and ...

Class D β-lactamases

open access: yes, 2021
Class D β-lactamases are composed of 14 families and the majority of the member enzymes are included in the OXA family. The genes for class D β-lactamases are frequently identified in the chromosome as an intrinsic resistance determinant in environmental

Dynamically Actuated Reconfigurable Topographical Surface Enables Active Control of Implant‐Associated Infections

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A dynamically actuated reconfigurable topographical surface (DARTS) integrates contact‐mediated bactericidal nanotopography with programmable mechanical actuation to actively disrupt bacterial biofilms. Dynamic surface reconfiguration enhances bacterial killing and suppresses implant‐associated infections in vivo, providing a new strategy for active ...

Environmental species from theTelluria group as the putative origin of bifunctionalβ-lactamases

open access: yesMicrobiology Spectrum
β-Lactamases comprise two structurally and evolutionarily well-defined groups: serine- (SBL) and metallo-β-lactamases (MBL). To date, clinically relevant β-lactamases are typically monofunctional DD-peptidases, containing a single active site cavity per ...

Activity fingerprinting of AMR β-lactamase towards a fast and accurate diagnosis

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2023
Antibiotic resistance has become a serious threat to global public health and economic development. Rapid and accurate identification of a patient status for antimicrobial resistance (AMR) are urgently needed in clinical diagnosis.

Expression of β-lactamase inCoxiella burnetiitransformants [PDF]

open access: yesFEMS Microbiology Letters, 2000
Coxiella burnetii can be transformed to ampicillin resistance by electroporation with plasmids encoding beta-lactamase. However, non-plasmid emergence of resistance to ampicillin also develops. To validate the usefulness of the bla gene marker for selection and detection, transformed C.

β-Lactamases: quality and resistance [PDF]

open access: yes, 1997
β-Lactamase-mediated resistance to β-lactam antibiotics is a feature of great clinical significance. β-Lactamases are a diverse group of bacterial enzymes that vary in their abilities to hydrolyze β-lactam antibiotics. β-Lactamases possess an active site
