Researchers at Stanford University uncover TEM beta-lactamase enzyme’s evolution from changing electric fields and resisting antibiotics. During the Biophysical Society's 62nd Annual Meeting ...

Bacteria can produce enzymes that make them resistant to antibiotics; one example is the TEM beta-lactamase enzyme, which enables bacteria to develop a resistance to beta-lactam antibiotics, such ...

Beta-lactamases are enzymes produced by bacteria, that provide multi-resistance to beta-lactam antibiotics such as penicillins, Cephalosporins, cephamycins, and carbapenems, although carbapenems ...

“Metallo-beta-lactamases are this independent class of beta-lactamase enzymes that inactivate anti-beta-lactam antibacterials by hydrolysis,” Gillespie said during the presentation.

Enzymes are proteins that speed up or catalyze a reaction in living organisms. Bacteria can produce enzymes that make them resistant to antibiotics. Specifically, the TEM beta-lactamase enzyme ...

Houston, TX – New research by investigators in Ghent, Belgium shows that intravenous treatment with MK-3402, a metallo-beta-lactamase inhibitor, can be an effective strategy in fighting ...

A new study analyzing the physical dynamics of all currently mapped structures in an important group of antibiotic-destroying enzymes has found a common structural feature: the physical ...

An enzyme associated with extensive antibiotic resistance called New Delhi metallo-ß-lactamase-1 (NDM-1), endemic in India and Pakistan and spreading worldwide, has been found in two people in ...

Eve Napier, a second-year PhD student at Trinity College Dublin, determined the 3D experimental structure of a newly designed beta-lactamase, using a method called X-ray crystallography.

According to new research from Ghent, Belgium, intravenous treatment with MK-3402, a metallo-beta-lactamase inhibitor, can be a successful technique in combating antimicrobial resistance.
