Trade-Offs Between Antibacterial Resistance and Fitness Cost in the Production of Metallo-β-Lactamase by Enteric Bacteria Manifest as Sporadic Emergence of Carbapenem Resistance in a Clinical Setting
2020-10-25
Abstract excerpt
Meropenem is a clinically important antibacterial reserved for treatment of multi-resistant infections. In meropenem-resistant bacteria of the family Enterobacteriales, NDM-1 is considerably more common than IMP-1, despite both metallo-β-lactamases (MBLs) hydrolysing meropenem with almost identical kinetics. We show that bla NDM-1 consistently confers meropenem resistance in wild-type Enterobacteriales, but bla...
