Abstract: Mtb β-lactamase (BlaC) is extremely efficient in hydrolyzing ß-lactam antibiotics which renders/leads to protection and/or resistance to this bug. There is a compelling need to develop new non-lactam inhibitors which can bind and inhibit BlaC,… read more here.

Abstract: Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), the main causative agent of tuberculosis (TB), is naturally resistant to β-lactam antibiotics due to the production of the extended spectrum β-lactamase BlaC. β-Lactam/β-lactamase inhibitor combination therapies can circumvent the BlaC-mediated resistance… read more here.
