Structural Basis for Enhancement of Carbapenemase Activity in the OXA-51 Family of Class D β-Lactamases
4 Jun 2015
Abstract excerpt
Class D β-lactamases of Acinetobacter baumannii are enzymes of the utmost clinical importance, producing resistance to last resort carbapenem antibiotics. Although the OXA-51-like enzymes constitute the largest family of class D β-lactamases, they are poorly studied and their importance in conferring carbapenem resistance is controversial. We present the detailed microbiological, kinetic, and structural...
