The diazabicyclooctane (DBO) inhibitor, avibactam (AVI), reversibly inactivates most serine-β-lactamases including the CTX-M β-lactamases. Currently, more than 230 CTX-M unique members distributed in five clusters with less than 5% amino acid sequence divergence within each group are described. Recently, a variant named as CTX-M-151 was isolated from a <i>Salmonella</i> Choleraesuis ... Read more >>

<h4>Background</h4>Extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Enterobacterales-(Ent) infections are increasing in pediatrics. Before CTX-M ESBL emerged, the most common infection-associated ESBL genes were TEM and SHV-type ESBLs. We sought to define the current epidemiology of Ent infections in children due to blaTEM and blaSHV (TEM-SHV-Ent).<h4>Methods</h4>A retrospective case-control analysis of children with TEM-SHV-Ent infections ...

Class A serine β-lactamases (SBLs) are key antibiotic resistance determinants in Gram-negative bacteria. SBLs neutralize β-lactams via a hydrolytically labile covalent acyl-enzyme intermediate. Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase (KPC) is a widespread SBL that hydrolyzes carbapenems, the most potent β-lactams; known KPC variants differ in turnover of expanded-spectrum oxyimino-cephalosporins (ESOCs), e.g. cefotaxime ...

Extended-spectrum class C β-lactamases have evolved to rapidly inactivate expanded-spectrum cephalosporins, a class of antibiotics designed to be resistant to hydrolysis by β-lactamase enzymes. To better understand the mechanism by which <i><u>A</u>cinetobacter</i>-<u>d</u>erived <u>c</u>ephalosporinase-7 (ADC-7), a chromosomal AmpC enzyme, hydrolyzes these molecules, we determined the X-ray crystal structure of ADC-7 in ...

Successful treatment of Acinetobacter baumannii infections require early and appropriate antimicrobial therapy. One of the first steps in this process is understanding which β-lactamase (bla) alleles are present and in what combinations. Thus, we performed WGS on 98 carbapenem-resistant A. baumannii (CR Ab). In most isolates, an acquired bla<sub>OXA</sub> carbapenemase ... Read more >>
