Abstract excerpt
The β-lactamase OXA-48 efficiently hydrolyzes carbapenem antibiotics, especially imipenem. Carbapenem resistance is a rising clinical concern and is frequently associated with OXA-48 and its variants. OXA-48 variants carrying different mutations in the β5-β6 loop differ in hydrolytic activity toward imipenem. OXA-517 has a higher KM, but a similar kcat for imipenem hydrolysis, compared to that of OXA-48, whereas...
