Abstract excerpt
The triple action of the diazabicyclooctane (DBO) zidebactam (antibacterial activity [penicillin-binding protein 2 {PBP2} inhibitor], β-lactam enhancement [synergy with PBP3 inhibitors], and β-lactamase inhibition [classes A and C]) provides a promising approach to overcome Pseudomonas aeruginosa resistance. However, PBP2 mutations (particularly V516M) are associated with resistance. Thus, we characterized the...
