Abstract excerpt
One of the resistance mechanisms of superbugs is to hydrolyze antibiotics by producing metallo-β-lactamases (MβLs). To verify how MβLs evolved to increase in activity in response to various β-lactam antibiotics, the mutation and evolution of CphA from Aeromonas hydrophila (Zn2+-dependent MβL) was investigated in a medium with a continuous biapenem (BIA) concentration gradient. The results showed that a...
