Acquired Carbapenem-Hydrolyzing Beta-Lactamases and their Genetic Support
1 Jun 2002
Abstract excerpt
Carbapenem-hydrolyzing beta-lactamases of several Ambler molecular classes have been reported as the source of acquired beta-lactam antibiotic resistance in Gram negative bacteria. The metallo-enzymes of Ambler class B are the most prevalent enzymes in this case. These clavulanic-acid resistant enzymes have a large spectrum of hydrolysis including penicillins, cephalosporins (third and fourth generations),...
