Analysis of β-lactone formation by clinically observed carbapenemases informs on a novel antibiotic resistance mechanism
An important mechanism of resistance to β-lactam antibiotics is via their β-lactamase–catalyzed hydrolysis. Recent work has shown that, in addition to the established hydrolysis products, the reaction of the class D nucleophilic serine β-lactamases (SBLs) with carbapenems also produces β-lactones. W...
