Drug development concerning metallo-β-lactamases in gram-negative bacteria [PDF]

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
β-Lactams have been a clinical focus since their emergence and indeed act as a powerful tool to combat severe bacterial infections, but their effectiveness is threatened by drug resistance in bacteria, primarily by the production of serine- and metallo-β-

Dynamically chiral phosphonic acid-type metallo-β-lactamase inhibitors

Communications Chemistry
Antibiotic resistance is a growing global health threat that risks the lives of millions. Among the resistance mechanisms, that mediated by metallo-β-lactamases is of particular concern as these bacterial enzymes dismantle most β-lactam antibiotics ...

Discovery of potential inhibitors against New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase-1 from natural compounds: in silico-based methods

Scientific Reports, 2021
New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase variants and different types of metallo-β-lactamases have attracted enormous consideration for hydrolyzing almost all β-lactam antibiotics, which leads to multi drug resistance bacteria.

Carbapenem-Resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae in Large Public Acute-Care Healthcare System, New York, New York, USA, 2016–2022

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2023
Controlling the spread of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales is a global priority. Using National Healthcare Safety Network data, we characterized the changing epidemiology of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) in a large public health

Could β-Lactam Antibiotics Block Humoral Immunity?

Frontiers in Immunology, 2021
It has been reported that treatment with β-lactam antibiotics induces leukopenia and candidemia, worsens the clinical response to anticancer immunotherapy and decreases immune response to vaccination.

Prevalence of Extended Spectrum β-Lactamase, Metallo β-Lactamase, and AmpC β-Lactamase among Gram Negative Bacilli Recovered from Burn Wound Infection

RUHS Journal of Health Sciences, 2023
Introduction: Infections are the major cause of morbidity and mortality in burn patients. The ESBL, MBL and AmpC are the major mediators of antimicrobial resistance in gram negative bacteria. Early detection of ESBL, MBL and AmpC β -lactamases is crucial

Taxifolin as a Metallo-β-Lactamase Inhibitor in Combination with Augmentin against Verona Imipenemase 2 Expressing Pseudomonas aeruginosa

Microorganisms, 2023
Among the various mechanisms that bacteria use to develop antibiotic resistance, the multiple expression of β-lactamases is particularly problematic, threatening public health and increasing patient mortality rates. Even if a combination therapy—in which

Novel metallo β-lactamase mediated by aShigella flexneriplasmid [PDF]

FEMS Microbiology Letters, 1998
Novel carbapenem-hydrolyzing beta-lactamase (newly named MET-1) encoded on a transferable plasmid pMS390 from Shigella flexneri JS19622 was purified. The molecular weight was 28,000 by SDS-PAGE and the isoelectric point was higher than 9.3. This beta-lactamase favorably hydrolyzed classical cephalosporins and oxyimino-cephalosporins rather than ...

Multi-Drug-Resistant Gram-Negative Microorganisms: Epidemiology, Treatment and Alternative Approach

Antibiotics, 2022
The presence of enzymes such as Extended-Spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) and carbapenemases (KPCs, Metallo β-lactamases and OXA) constitutes the principal resistance mechanism to antibiotics [...]
