Spectroscopic and Mechanistic Studies of Heterodimetallic Forms of Metallo-β-lactamase NDM-1 [PDF]
In an effort to characterize the roles of each metal ion in metallo-β-lactamase NDM-1, heterodimetallic analogues (CoCo-, ZnCo-, and CoCd-) of the enzyme were generated and characterized. UV–vis, 1H NMR, EPR, and EXAFS spectroscopies were used to confirm

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

Biochemical characterization of the carbapenem-hydrolyzing β-lactamase AsbM1 fromAeromonas sobriaAER 14M: a member of a novel subgroup of metallo-β-lactamases [PDF]
AsbM1, a carbapenem-hydrolyzing beta-lactamase produced by Aeromonas sobria AER 14M, was purified chromatographically, with anion exchange chromatography performed in the absence of Zn2+. The molecular mass of AsbM1 was approximately 34,000; the isoelectric point was 9.1.

antimicrobial effects of aztreonam, colistin, and the 3-drug combination of aztreonam, ceftazidime and amikacin on metallo--lactamase-producing [PDF]
Background There are limited choice of antimicrobial agents to treat infection with metallo-β-lactamase-producing Pseudomonas aeruginosa. We evaluate the antimicrobial effects of aztreonam alone, colistin alone and the 3-drug combination of aztreonam ...

Prevalence and detection of Stenotrophomonas maltophilia carrying metallo-β-lactamase blaL1 in Beijing, China [PDF]
Intrinsic β-lactam resistance in Stenotrophomonas maltophilia is caused by bla L1 and/or bla L2, a kind of metallo-β-lactamase with a broad substrate spectrum including carbapenems. A rapid and sensitive molecular method for the detection of bla L1 in clinical samples is needed to guide therapeutic treatment. In present study, we first described a loop-

Background: Escherichia coli belong to the family of Enterobacteriaceae that are responsible as one of the leading cause of nosocomial infections. The emergence of Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae presents therapeutic challenges for clinicians on choosing the correct type of antibiotics to prescribe.

Molecular characterization ofblaIMP-5, a new integron-borne metallo-β-lactamase gene from anAcinetobacter baumanniinosocomial isolate in Portugal [PDF]
Acinetobacter baumannii 65FFC, an imipenem-resistant clinical strain, isolated from the urine of a patient at the Coimbra University Hospital, Portugal, in 1998, produced a metallo-beta-lactamase with a calculated pI 9.3. The isolate was highly resistant to penicillins, broad-spectrum cephalosporins, including ceftazidime, ceftriaxone, cefepime ...
