Structure and functions of a metallo-beta-lactamase- like hypothetical protein bleg1_2437 from alkali-tolerant soil bacterium Bacillus lehensis G1 by Tan, Soo Huei

“…However, the emergence of antibiotic resistance mechanism among pathogenic bacteria has downsized the efficacy of antibiotics via the production metallo-β-lactamase (MBL) which enables pathogens to destroy the β- lactam ring of β-lactam antibiotics. Although MBL is not ubiquitously found in all pathogenic bacteria, its presence is a public health concern. …”
