The Structural Bases of Antibiotic Resistance in the Clinically Derived Mutant β-Lactamases TEM-30, TEM-32, and TEM-34
1 Aug 2002
Abstract excerpt
Widespread use of beta-lactam antibiotics has promoted the evolution of beta-lactamase mutant enzymes that can hydrolyze ever newer classes of these drugs. Among the most pernicious mutants are the inhibitor-resistant TEM beta-lactamases (IRTs), which elude mechanism-based inhibitors, such as clavulanate. Despite much research on these IRTs, little is known about the structural bases of their action. This has...
