Multidrug resistant Gram-negative bacterial infections are an increasing public health threat due to rapidly rising resistance toward β-lactam antibiotics. The hydrolytic enzymes called β-lactamases are responsible for a large proportion of the resistance phenotype. β-Lactamase inhibitors (BLIs) can be administered in combination with β-lactam antibiotics to negate the action of the β-lactamases, thereby restoring activity of the β-lactam. Newly developed BLIs offer some advantage over older BLI ...[more]
