Influence of the Active Site Flexibility on the Efficiency of Substrate Activation in the Active Sites of Bi-Zinc Metallo-β-Lactamases

Molecules, 2022
The influence of the active site flexibility on the efficiency of catalytic reaction is studied by taking two members of metallo-β-lactamases, L1 and NDM-1, with the same substrate, imipenem.

Exploring the Roles of Tuna‐Associated Acinetobacter sp. YFT067: Implications for Host Health and Metabolism

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
This study firstly isolated a tuna‐derived gut probiotic Acinetobacter seifertii YFT067. Dietary administration of YFT067 played significant roles in promoting growth performance, SCFAs production, lipid absorption, and metabolism of the host, indicating YFT067 as a promising probiotic candidate for enhancing tuna aquaculture productivity through ...

Carbapenem Resistance in Klebsiella pneumoniae Not Detected by Automated Susceptibility Testing

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2006
Detecting β-lactamase–mediated carbapenem resistance among Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates and other Enterobacteriaceae is an emerging problem. In this study, 15 blaKPC-positive Klebsiella pneumoniae that showed discrepant results for imipenem and ...

Interspecies DNA acquisition by a naturally competent Acinetobacter baumannii strain [PDF]

, 2019
The human pathogen Acinetobacter baumannii possesses high genetic plasticity and frequently acquires antimicrobial resistance genes. Here we investigated the role of natural transformation in these processes. Genomic DNA from different sources, including
