β-Lactamase inhibitors have emerged as an effective alternative to reduce the effects of resistance against β-lactam antibiotics. The Streptomyces genus is known for being an exceptional natural source of antimicrobials ...

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are a common human infection. Antibiotic resistance in extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing uropathogenic E. coli (UPEC) is a major therapeutic challenge due to limited treatment ...

In recent years, the isolation of bacteria producing β-lactamases has caused concern around the world, due to the fact these enzymes hydrolysis the ring β-lactam antimicrobials used in the main clinic. This aim of this ...

The production of β-lactamase enzymes is one of the most distributed resistance mechanisms towards β-lactam antibiotics. Metallo-β-lactamases constitute a worrisome group of these kinds of enzymes, since they present a ...

We present here the draft genome sequence of the first New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase (NDM-1)-producing Escherichia coli strain, belonging to sequence type 155 (ST155), isolated in Peru. Assembly of this draft genome resulted ...

Bacterial resistance refers to bacteria capacity to evade antibiotic action, which constitutes a public health issue. This resistance is given by β-lactamase enzymes that break the drug rings and alter its function. To ...

Providencia stuartii is an opportunistic pathogen of the Enterobacteriales order. Here, we report the 4,594,658-bp draft genome sequence of a New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase (NDM-1)-producing Providencia stuartii strain that ...

Klebsiella pneumoniae is a nosocomial pathogen with pandemic lineages threatening public health worldwide. Extended-spectrum B-lactamase (ESBL)- producing K. pneumoniae belonging to sequence type 307(ST307) is an emerging ...
