A multidisciplinary approach to the design of novel inhibitors for KPC-2
Background. The emergence and dissemination of multi drug resistant (MDR) Gram-negative pathogens resistant to all available antibiotics poses a significant threat in clinical therapy. Among them, Klebsiella Pneumoniae clinical isolates overexpressing KPC-2 carbapenemase are the most worrisome, extending bacterial resistance to last resort carbapenems.

Boronic acid inhibitors of the class A β-lactamase KPC-2
Bioorganic & Medicinal Chemistry, 2018The rapid rise of antimicrobial resistance is one of the greatest challenges currently facing medical science. The most common cause of resistance to β-lactam antibiotics is the expression of β-lactamase enzymes, such as KPC-2. As such the development of novel inhibitors of KPC-2 and related enzymes is of the upmost importance. We report the design and

Enterobacteriaceae producing the KPC-2 carbapenemase from hospital sewage
Diagnostic Microbiology and Infectious Disease, 2012Fifteen isolates with reduced susceptibility to meropenem were obtained from hospital sewage. They contained bla(KPC-2) and belonged to multiple clones of Citrobacter freundii or Enterobacter cloacae. bla(KPC-2) was commonly carried by self-transmissible plasmids with different EcoRI-restricted patterns. Tn2 was identified upstream of bla(KPC-2), while
