The structure of a doripenem‐bound OXA‐51 class D β‐lactamase variant with enhanced carbapenemase activity
16 Sept 2016
Abstract excerpt
OXA-51 is a class D β-lactamase that is thought to be the native carbapenemase of Acinetobacter baumannii. Many variants of OXA-51 containing active site substitutions have been identified from A. baumannii isolates, and some of these substitutions increase hydrolytic activity toward carbapenem antibiotics. We have determined the high-resolution structures of apo OXA-51 and OXA-51 with one such substitution...
