Abstract excerpt
Clavulanic acid (CA) is a specific metabolite that inhibits β-lactamases, which inactivate β-lactam antibiotics, therefore reinstating the activity of β-lactams against β-lactamase-producing pathogens, and surmounting β-lactam resistance. While extensive efforts have been made to optimize CA production through random mutagenesis, these approaches often introduce deleterious mutations, limiting further yield...
