Structural Investigations of the Inhibition of Escherichia coli AmpC β-Lactamase by Diazabicyclooctanes

Abstract excerpt

β-Lactam antibiotics are presently the most important treatments for infections by pathogenic Escherichia coli , but their use is increasingly compromised by β-lactamases, including the chromosomally encoded class C AmpC serine-β-lactamases (SBLs). The diazabicyclooctane (DBO) avibactam is a potent AmpC inhibitor; the clinical success of avibactam combined with ceftazidime has stimulated efforts to optimize the...
