Penicillanic Acid Sulfones Inactivate the Extended-Spectrum β-Lactamase CTX-M-15 through Formation of a Serine-Lysine Cross-Link: an Alternative Mechanism of β-Lactamase Inhibition
ABSTRACT β-Lactamases hydrolyze β-lactam antibiotics and are major determinants of antibiotic resistance in Gram-negative pathogens. Enmetazobactam (formerly AAI101) and tazobactam are penicillanic acid sulfone (PAS) β-lactamase inhibitors that differ by an additional methyl group on the triazole ri...
