Classification of Beta-lactamases and penicillin binding proteins using ligand-centric network models. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2015
β-lactamase mediated antibiotic resistance is an important health issue and the discovery of new β-lactam type antibiotics or β-lactamase inhibitors is an area of intense research.

Metal nanostructure‐coupled label‐free localized surface plasmon resonance biosensors for rapid and sensitive disease diagnosis

open access: yesBMEMat, EarlyView.
LSPR biosensing enables rapid, sensitive, and low‐sample‐volume detection of biomarkers, with broad applications in diagnosing cancer, infectious, and chronic diseases. Advances in nanostructure design, micro/nanofabrication, and microfluidic integration have expanded the potential of LSPR sensors in biomedical diagnostics.

A review of SHV extended-spectrum β-lactamases: neglected yet ubiquitous

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2016
β-lactamases are the primary cause of resistance to β-lactams among members of the family Enterobacteriaceae. SHV enzymes have emerged in Enterobacteriaceae causing infections in health care in the last decades of the 20st century, and they are now ...

Investigation on some Beta- lactamase enzym types in Rhizobium leguminosarum biovar viciae [PDF]

open access: yesمجلة التربية والعلم, 2009
Detection of β–lactamases was conducted in Rhizobium leguminosarum biovar viciae isolated from root nodules of Vicia faba L.. Acidimetric method was used to detect the occurrence of β–lactamases in general, the isolate gave a positive result.

Penetration of β-lactamase inhibitors into the periplasm of Gram-negative bacteria [PDF]

open access: yesFEMS Microbiology Letters, 1999
The effectiveness of a beta-lactamase inhibitor/beta-lactam combination against Gram-negative pathogens depends on many interplaying factors, one of which is the penetration of the inhibitor across the outer membrane. In this work we have measured the relative penetrations of clavulanic acid, sulbactam, tazobactam and BRL 42715 into two strains of ...

Probing the Role of Asn 152 in the Class C β-lactamase AmpC [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
AmpC, a class C β-lactamase, is a main cause of antibiotic resistance to cephalosporins in many species of bacteria. The current proposed mechanism of action involves an acyl-intermediate, where the enzyme becomes covalently attached to the drug at ...

Fecal Microbiota Transplantation and Microbiota‐Based Therapeutics in Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation: Current Evidence and Future Directions

open access: yesClinical Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.
The intestinal microbiome is a key regulator of immune homeostasis, metabolism, and epithelial barrier integrity. In patients with malignant hematological diseases, particularly those undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, microbiome perturbations by reduced diversity, pathobiont expansion, and loss of beneficial metabolites are common as ...

Phenotypic detection of Metallo- and AmpC β-lactamases producing strains of P. aeruginosa in the state of Himachal Pradesh (India) [PDF]

open access: yesAl Ameen Journal of Medical Sciences, 2015
Background: A prospective study was undertaken to detect metallo-β-lactamases (MBLs) and AmpC β-lactamases in Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates recovered from patients at Indira Gandhi Medical College, Shimla (H.P).

Detection of inducible β-lactamase by an agar dilution technique [PDF]

open access: yesFEMS Microbiology Letters, 1985
An agar dilution technique for the detection of inducible β-lactamase-mediated resistance to the newer cephalosporins is described. Cefoxitin (16 μg/ml) was incorporated in agar plates together with cefamandole (8 μg/ml) or cefotaxime (8 μg/ml). The susceptibility of 35 strains of Enterobacter cloacae to these combinations was compared with their ...

Cefotaxime-hydrolysing activity of the β-lactamase ofKlebsiella oxytocaD488 could be related to a threonine residue at position 140 [PDF]

open access: yesFEMS Microbiology Letters, 1991
The chromosomally encoded β-lactamase of Klebsiella oxytoca D483 strain, active against all third-generation cephalosporins but ceftazidime, was purified to homogeneity. The pure protein was digested by trypsin, Staphylococcus aureus V8 protease or proteinase Asp-N.
