How To Detect NDM-1 Producers [PDF]
Enterobacterial isolates expressing the carbapenemase NDM-1 are emerging worldwide. Twenty-seven NDM-1-positive isolates of worldwide origin were included in this study to identify these strains as not only pathogens but also colonizers of normal flora ...

The emerging NDM carbapenemases
Carbapenems were the last β-lactams retaining near-universal anti-Gram-negative activity, but carbapenemases are spreading, conferring resistance. New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase (NDM) enzymes are the latest carbapenemases to be recognized and since 2008 ...

NDM-1 encoded by a pNDM-BJ01-like plasmid p3SP-NDM in clinical Enterobacter aerogenes [PDF]
A carbapenem-nonsusceptible Enterobacter aerogenes strain named 3-SP was isolated from a human case of pneumonia in a Chinese teaching hospital. NDM-1 carbapenemase is produced by a pNDM-BJ01-like conjugative plasmid designated p3SP-NDM to account for ...

Functional dynamics of water in New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase catalysis. [PDF]
Abstract Water plays a critical role in the hydrolysis of antibiotics by New Delhi metallo‐β‐lactamases (NDMs). The reaction proceeds through a nucleophilic attack on the β‐lactam ring, followed by cleavage of the C–N bond and formation of an anionic nitrogen intermediate. This intermediate is then protonated by a water molecule diffusing from the bulk

The spread and acquisition of NDM-1: a multifactorial problem
Bla NDM is a major mechanism of resistance of Gram-negative bacteria to β-lactam antibiotics including the carbapenems. bla NDM has been acquired by a large range of Gram-negative bacilli, especially by the Enterobacteriaceae and Acinetobacter spp.
