INTRODUCTION: This study aimed to characterize extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) and carbapenemase genes in bacteria from the environment in Bobo-Dioulasso, Burkina Faso.
This study evaluated the performance of the Vitek 2 Advanced Expert System (AES) confidence level report as a rapid tool for reporting antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) results for a challenging set of isolates from North and Latin America....

L2 β-lactamases, serine-based class A β-lactamases expressed by , play a pivotal role in antimicrobial resistance (AMR). However, limited studies have been conducted on these important enzymes. To understand the coevolutionary dynamics of L2 β-lactam...
BACKGROUND: Antimicrobial stewardship focuses on identifying patients who require extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-targeted therapy. 'Rule-in' tools have been researched extensively in areas of low endemicity; however, such tools are inadequat...

The worldwide spread of the metallo-β-lactamases (MBL), especially New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase-1 (NDM-1), is threatening the efficacy of β-lactams, which are the most potent and prescribed class of antibiotics in the clinic. Currently, FDA-approved...

In this study, 80 carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CR-KP) and 160 carbapenem-susceptible Klebsiella pneumoniae (CS-KP) strains detected in the clinic were selected and their matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass s...
Pathogenic gram-negative bacteria frequently carry genes encoding extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBL) and/or carbapenemases. Of great concern are carbapenem resistant , , and . Despite the need for rapid AMR diagnostics globally, current molecu...
BACKGROUND: Heteroresistance (HR) is a significant type of antibiotic resistance observed for several bacterial species and antibiotic classes where a susceptible main population contains small subpopulations of resistant cells. Mathematical models, ...
OBJECTIVES: Beta-lactamase is a bacterial enzyme that deactivates beta-lactam antibiotics, and it is one of the leading causes of antibiotic resistance problems globally. In current drug discovery research, molecular simulation, like molecular dockin...
