Abstract excerpt
PER-2 accounts for up to 10% of oxyimino-cephalosporin resistance in Klebsiella pneumoniae and Escherichia coli in Argentina and hydrolyzes both cefotaxime and ceftazidime with high catalytic efficiencies (kcat/Km ). Through crystallographic analyses, we recently proposed the existence of a hydrogen bond network connecting Ser70-Gln69-oxyanion water-Thr237-Arg220 that might be important for the activity and...
