Abstract: The emergence of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales (CRE) that coexpress serine- and metallo-carbapenemases is a severe threat to the efficacy of ceftazidime-avibactam (CZA), which has been proven to be extremely effective against KPC-producing Enterobacterales strains.

Abstract: Introduction Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase (KPC) belongs to the Group-A β-lactamases that incorporate serine at their active site and hydrolyze various penicillins, cephalosporins, and carbapenems. Metallo-beta-lactamases (MBLs) are group-B enzymes that contain one or two essential… read more here.
