An Extended Reservoir of Class-D Beta-Lactamases in Non-Clinical Bacterial Strains [PDF]
Bacterial genes coding for antibiotic resistance represent a major issue in the fight against bacterial pathogens. Among those, genes encoding beta-lactamases target penicillin and related compounds such as carbapenems, which are critical for human ...

Exploiting the aggregation propensity of beta-lactamases to design inhibitors that induce enzyme misfolding [PDF]
There is an arms race between beta-lactam antibiotics development and co-evolving beta-lactamases, which provide resistance by breaking down beta-lactam rings.
