Mechanism of action Cefiderocol acts by binding to and inhibiting penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs), preventing cell wall synthesis and ultimately causing death of the bacterial cell.Label,2 Like other β-lactam antibiotics cefiderocol is able to enter bacterial cells via passive diffusion through...
Cilastatin is an inhibitor of renal dehydropeptidase, an enzyme responsible for both the metabolism of thienamycin beta-lactam antibiotics as well as conversion of leukotriene D4 to leukotriene E4. Since the antibiotic, imipenem, is one such antibiotic that is hydrolyzed by dehydropeptidase, cilastat...
Cefepime belongs to the β-lactam group of antibiotics and its mechanism of action is similar to that of other β-lactam antibiotics. Cefepime inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis by covalently binding to the enzyme responsible for the final step of transpeptidation in peptidoglycan wall synthesis...
Heteroresistance to beta-lactam antibiotics may often be a stage in the progression to antibiotic resistance. PLoS Biol. 2021, 19, e3001346. [Google Scholar] [CrossRef] Li, J.; Rayner, C.R.; Nation, R.L.; Owen, R.J.; Spelman, D.; Tan, K.E.; Liolios, L. Heteroresistance to ...
6. The Problem of Bacterial Resistance to Sulfonamides Sometimes parallels between the systems of bacterial resistance to antibiotics and sulfonamides are drawn. In our opinion, this is not entirely correct. For example, the most odious enzymes involved in the utilization of beta-lactam antibiotics ar...
On the other hand, indirect degradation also occurs through the generation of reactive radicals due to the absorption of UV Conclusions This study evaluated both kinetics and mechanisms of the degradation of four model β-lactam antibiotics. It was found that direct UV irradiation led to various ...
Antimicrobial activities of AMPs Over the past few years, global public health has faced the emergence of multidrug-resistant microorganisms due to excessive use of antibiotics. This has created an urgent need for novel antibiotics to enter the clinical phases. In this regard, since the discovery ...
