Small Changes in Hydration Determine Cephalosporinase Activity of OXA-48 β-Lactamases
2020-01-27
Abstract excerpt
β-lactamase mediated antibiotic resistance threatens treatment of bacterial infections. OXA-48 enzymes are clinically important class D serine β-lactamases (SBLs) that confer resistance to most β-lactam antibiotics, including carbapenems. However, OXA-48 and related enzymes vary widely in their activity towards different substrates: OXA-48 primarily hydrolyzes carbapenems, whereas the OXA-163 variant is a ce...
