Exposure assessment of extended-spectrum beta-lactamases/AmpC beta-lactamases-producing Escherichia coli in meat in Denmark [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
INTRODUCTION Extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBL) and AmpC beta-lactamases (AmpC) are of concern for veterinary and public health because of their ability to cause treatment failure due to antimicrobial resistance in Enterobacteriaceae.

Beta-lactamase induction and cell wall metabolism in Gram-negative bacteria

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2013
Production of beta-lactamases, the enzymes that degrade beta-lactam antibiotics, is the most widespread and threatening mechanism of antibiotic resistance.

Cefotaxime/sulbactam: clinical and pharmacological characteristics [PDF]

open access: yesКлиническая микробиология и антимикробная химиотерапия, 2019
The recently approved cefotaxime/sulbactam, combination of third-generation cephalosporin (cefotaxime) and beta-lactamase inhibitor (sulbactam), can combat resistance mechanisms associated with the production of serine beta-lactamases, including some ...

Extended-spectrum Beta-lactamase and AmpC beta-lactamases producing gram negative bacilli isolated from clinical specimens at International Clinical Laboratories, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2020
BackgroundExtended spectrum Beta-lactamases (ESBLs) and AmpC beta-lactamases (AmpC) are the common enzymes produced by gram negative bacilli, which are their main mechanisms of resistance to all generations of cephalosporins.

Exploring Protein Sequence Space Using Computationally Directed Recombination [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Evolution has provided us with many protein sequences. However, these sequences represent a very small fraction of the possible sequences. In the laboratory, scientists have explored areas of sequence space not represented by natural proteins both to ...

A Primer on AmpC Beta-Lactamases: Necessary Knowledge for an Increasingly Multidrug-Resistant World.

open access: yesClinical Infectious Diseases, 2019
Understanding the nuances of AmpC β-lactamase mediated resistance can be challenging - even for the infectious diseases specialist. AmpC resistance can be classified into three categories: (a) inducible chromosomal resistance that emerges in the setting ...

The Mechanisms of Catalysis by Metallo β-Lactamases [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Class B β-lactamases or metallo-β-lactamases (MBLs) require zinc ions to catalyse the hydrolysis of β-lactam antibiotics such as penicillins, cephalosporins, carbapenems, and cephamycins.
