      <i>Background</i> - MBLs form a large and heterogeneous group of bacterial enzymes conferring resistance to β-lactam antibiotics, including carbapenems. A large environmental reservoir of MBLs has been identified, which can act as a source for transfer into human pathogens. Therefore, structural investigation of environmental and clinically rare MBLs can give new insights into structure–activity ...

    • Structural insights into the enhanced carbapenemase efficiency of OXA-655 compared to OXA-10

      Carbapenemases are the main cause of carbapenem resistance in Gram‐negative bacteria. How β‐lactamases with weak carbapenemase activity, such as the OXA‐10‐type class D β‐lactamases, contribute to anti‐bacterial drug resistance is unclear. OXA‐655 is a T26M and V117L OXA‐10 variant, recently identified from hospital wastewater. Despite exhibiting stronger carbapenemase activity towards ertapenem ...
