Structural characterization of superbug proteins involved in regulating beta-lactam resistance

The widespread use of β-lactams has undermined their effectiveness as chemotherapeutic agents by fueling the evolution and dissemination of multiple resistance mechanisms, including: (1) production of hydrolytic β-lactamase enzymes that inactivate β-­lactams, (2) expression of PBPs with low-affinity...
