Abstract: ConspectusEver since the first β-lactam antibiotic, penicillin, was introduced into the clinic over 70 years ago, resistance has been observed because of the presence of β-lactamase enzymes, which hydrolyze the β-lactam ring of β-lactam antibiotics.… read more here.

Abstract: Abstract An increasing global health challenge is antimicrobial resistance. Bacterial infections are often treated by using β-lactam antibiotics. But several resistance mechanisms have evolved in clinically mutated bacteria, which results in resistance against such antibiotics.… read more here.

Abstract: Outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) are nanoparticles released by Gram-negative bacteria, which contain different cargo molecules and mediate several biological processes. Recent studies have shown that OMVs are involved in antibiotic-resistance (AR) mechanisms by including β-lactamase… read more here.
