Abstract excerpt
Diversification of the CTX-M β-lactamases led to the emergence of variants responsible for decreased susceptibility to ceftazidime, like the Asp240Gly-harboring "ceftazidimases". We solved the crystallographic structure of the Asp240Gly variant CTX-M-96 at 1.2 Å and evaluated the role of Asp240 in the activity toward oxyimino-cephalosporins through simulated models and kinetics. There seem to be subtle changes in...
