Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a global threat, with species contributing significantly to difficult-to-treat infections. The Pen family of β-lactamases are produced by all spp., and their mutation or overproduction leads to the resistance of β-...
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...
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, ...
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...

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...
