Structure and mechanism of potent bifunctional β-lactam- and homoserine lactone-degrading enzymes from marine microorganisms

2020-03-25

Abstract excerpt

Genes that confer antibiotic resistance can rapidly be disseminated from one microorganism to another by mobile genetic elements, thus transferring resistance to previously susceptible bacterial strains. The misuse of antibiotics in health care and agriculture has provided a powerful evolutionary pressure to accelerate the spread of resistance genes, including those encoding β-lactamases. These are enzymes that ar...
