β-Lactam Resistance in ESKAPE Pathogens Mediated Through Modifications in Penicillin-Binding Proteins: An Overview

Abstract Bacteria acquire β-lactam resistance through a multitude of mechanisms among which production of β-lactamases (enzymes that hydrolyze β-lactams) is the most common, especially in Gram-negatives. Structural changes in the high-molecular-weight, essential penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) ar...
