A DNA aptamer reveals an allosteric site for inhibition in metallo-β-lactamases.

PLoS ONE, 2019
The hydrolysis of β-lactam antibiotics by β-lactamase enzymes is the most prominent antibiotic resistance mechanism for many pathogenic bacteria. Out of this broad class of enzymes, metallo-β-lactamases are of special clinical interest because of their ...

The Triple Combination of Meropenem, Avibactam, and a Metallo-β-Lactamase Inhibitor Optimizes Antibacterial Coverage Against Different β-Lactamase Producers

Engineering
This work explores the potential of a triple combination of meropenem (MEM), a novel metallo-β-lactamase (MBL) inhibitor (indole-2-carboxylate 58 (InC58)), and a serine-β-lactamase (SBL) inhibitor (avibactam (AVI)) for broad-spectrum activity against ...

"Golden Era of Antibiotics" - Coming to an end !!!

SRM Journal of Research in Dental Sciences, 2012
Resistance to antibiotics is increasing at an alarming rate. This is due to superbugs, producing heterogenous groups of enzymes, β-lactamases which inactivate β-lactam antibiotics and others as well.
