Revisiting the Metallo‐β‐Lactamase–Mediated Antibiotic Resistance: Exploring Novel Mechanisms and Therapeutic Strategies

International Journal of Microbiology, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
β‐Lactam resistance is one of the major health concerns today, primarily due to enzymes called β‐lactamases. Metallo‐β‐lactamases (MβLs) can cleave a wide range of β‐lactam antibiotics, including carbapenems. These enzymes require zinc (Zn) ions to function and can be inhibited by conventional β‐lactamase inhibitors.

Identification and Antimicrobial Potential of Marine Sponges (Carteriospongia foliascens, Callyspongia fallax, and Paratetilla arcifera) from Kenyan Marine Waters

International Journal of Microbiology, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Emerging and re‐emerging infectious diseases and pathogens present a significant global public health threat that has led researchers to focus on discovering new antimicrobial agents in order to address the challenge. Sponges are a promising source of marine natural products, which can be used as lead molecules for drug discovery.
