The flavonoid galangin inhibits the L1 metallo-β-lactamase fromStenotrophomonas maltophilia [PDF]

FEMS Microbiology Letters, 2002
The flavonoid galangin inhibits the partially purified metallo-beta-lactamase from Stenotrophomonas maltophilia. The effect was not reversed by the addition of ZnCl(2) suggesting that the inhibitory effect is not related to metal chelation. The flavonoid quercetin also has some inhibitory effect against the enzyme.

Isolation and partial purification of a carbapenem-hydrolysing metallo-β-lactamase fromPseudomonas cepacia [PDF]

FEMS Microbiology Letters, 1994
A metallo-beta-lactamase has been isolated from a clinical strain of Pseudomonas cepacia and partially purified using Cibacron blue F3GA coupled agarose. The resulting preparation showed a single band of beta-lactamase activity (pI 8.45) after analytical isoelectric focusing.

Characterization of the active-site residues asparagine 167 and lysine 161 of the IMP-1 metallo β-lactamase [PDF]

FEMS Microbiology Letters, 2001
The roles of lysine at position 161 and asparagine at position 167 in IMP-1 metallo beta-lactamase were studied by site-directed mutagenesis. These residues are highly conserved in metallo beta-lactamases and are thought to be present in the active-site cavity.

Inhibition of IMP-1 metallo-β-lactamase and sensitization of IMP-1-producing bacteria by thioester derivatives [PDF]

FEMS Microbiology Letters, 1999
IMP-1 metallo-beta-lactamase is a transferable carbapenem-hydrolyzing enzyme found in some clinical isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Serratia marcescens and Klebsiella pneumoniae. Bacteria that express IMP-1 show significantly reduced sensitivity to carbapenems and other beta-lactam antibiotics.

A rapid method for detecting and distinguishing metallo-β-lactamase-and serine carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriales using MALDI-TOF MS

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023
IntroductionCarbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriales (CPE) are a major health threat worldwide, and therefore the development of rapid detection methods is needed.

Novel IMP-1 metallo-β-lactamase inhibitors can reverse meropenem resistance inEscherichia coliexpressing IMP-1 [PDF]

FEMS Microbiology Letters, 2005
IMP-1 metallo-beta-lactamase is a zinc metalloenzyme that confers antibiotic resistance to bacteria through the hydrolysis of beta-lactam antibiotics. Pathogens that express the enzyme show reduced susceptibility to carbapenems, such as meropenem and imipenem.

Production of metallo-β-lactamase among Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains isolated in the State of Sergipe, Brazil

Revista da Sociedade Brasileira de Medicina Tropical, 2015
INTRODUCTION: Acquired production of metallo-β-lactamases is an important mechanism of resistance in Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The objective of this study was to investigate the production of metallo-β-lactamase and the genetic diversity among ceftazidime ...

Detection of bla NDM-1 Encoding Imepenemase among the Imipenem-Resistant Gram-Negative Bacilli Isolated from Various Clinical Samples at a Tertiary Care Hospital of Eastern Nepal: A Descriptive Cross-Sectional Study

International Journal of Microbiology, 2020
Background. Carbapenem resistance among Gram-negative isolates caused by the production of the metallo-β-lactamase (MBL) enzyme is being increasingly reported worldwide. One of the newly emerged metallo-β-lactamases is New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase. Data

Occurrence of a new metallo-β-lactamase IMP-4 carried on a conjugative plasmid inCitrobacter youngaefrom the People's Republic of China [PDF]

FEMS Microbiology Letters, 2001
During the course of an antimicrobial resistance surveillance programme in Guangzhou, the People's Republic of China, single strains of Citrobacter youngae and Pseudomonas aeruginosa were identified which were resistant to imipenem and found to carry the carbapenemase gene bla(IMP).
