Structures of SHV-1 β-lactamase with penem and penam sulfone inhibitors that form cyclic intermediates stabilized by carbonyl conjugation.

Bacterial β-lactamase enzymes are in large part responsible for the decreased ability of β-lactam antibiotics to combat infections. The inability to overcome β-lactamase mediated resistance spurred the development of inhibitors with penems and penam sulfones being amongst the most potent and broad s...
