In vivo selection of resistant E. coli after ingestion of milk with added drug residues. [PDF]
Antimicrobial resistance represents a major global threat to modern medicine. In vitro studies have shown that very low concentrations of drugs, as frequently identified in the environment, and in foods and water for human and animal consumption, can ...

Synthesis and penicillin‐binding protein inhibitory assessment of dipeptidic 4‐phenyl‐β‐lactams from α‐amino acid‐derived imines [PDF]
Monocyclic beta-lactams revive the research field on antibiotics, which are threatened by the emergence of resistant bacteria. A six-step synthetic route was developed, providing easy access to new 3-amino-1-carboxymethyl-4-phenyl-beta-lactams, of which ...

Rhodium-catalysed hydroformylation of N-(2-propenyl)-β-lactams as a key step in the synthesis of functionalised N-[4-(2-oxoazetidin-1-yl)but-1-enyl]acetamides [PDF]
Biologically relevant functionalised N-[4-(2-oxoazetidin-1-yl)but-1-enyl]acetamides have been prepared in a two-step approach starting from N-(2-propenyl)-beta-lactams, involving initial rhodium-catalysed hydroformylation followed by subjection of the ...

Fungal Lactamases: Their Occurrence and Function
Fungi are absorptive feeders and thus must colonize and ramify through their substrate to survive. In so doing they are in competition, particularly in the soil, with myriad microbes.
