Differential active site requirements for NDM-1 β-lactamase hydrolysis of carbapenem versus penicillin and cephalosporin antibiotics

The NDM-1 β-lactamase confers resistance to most β-lactam antibiotics. By functional analysis of residues required for hydrolysis, Sun et al. reveal stringent sequence constraints for carbapenems, suggesting that specific combinations of NDM-1 inhibitors might help reducing resistance development
