Structures of Mycobacterium tuberculosis penicillin-binding protein 3 in complex with five β-lactam antibiotics reveal mechanism of inactivation

Because of β-lactamase–mediated resistance, β-lactam antibiotics were long considered ineffective drugs for tuberculosis (TB) treatment. However, some β-lactams, including meropenem and faropenem, are being re-evaluated in patients infected with TB. Penicillin-binding protein (PBP) 3, or ftsI, is an...
