Preferred β-lactone synthesis can explain high rate of false-negative results in the detection of OXA-48-like carbapenemases
Abstract The resistance to carbapenems is usually mediated by enzymes hydrolyzing β-lactam ring. Recently, an alternative way of the modification of the antibiotic, a β-lactone formation by OXA-48-like enzymes, in some carbapenems was identified. We focused our study on a deep analysis of OXA-48-lik...
