Faropenem reacts with serine and metallo-β-lactamases to give multiple products

Anka Lucic, Philip Hinchliffe, Tika R. Malla, Catherine L. Tooke, Jurgen Brem, Karina Calvopina, Christopher T. Lohans, Patrick Rabe, Michael A. McDonough, Timothy Armistead, Allen M. Orville, James Spencer, Christopher J. Schofield

Summary: Penems have shown potential as antibacterials and beta-lactamase inhibitors, but their clinical use is limited compared to carbapenems. Faropenem, with a C-2 tetrahydrofuran ring, is resistant to some beta-lactamases. Studies on reactions of faropenem with beta-lactamases demonstrate different outcomes, suggesting further research is needed for optimizing the interactions between penems and beta-lactamases.

Class C β-Lactamases: Molecular Characteristics

Alain Philippon, Guillaume Arlet, Roger Labia, Bogdan I. Iorga

Summary: Class C β-lactamases exhibit molecular variability and can be categorized into two functional groups. These enzymes are encoded by chromosomal and inducible genes and are widely distributed among bacteria. Molecular identification is based on three catalytic motifs, and numerous conserved amino acid residues have been identified. The concept of natural ESACs is supported by the discovery of genetic modifications in pathogenic species and the emergence of resistance to carbapenems and inhibitors.
