Researchers have engineered a library of strains that can be used to develop new antibacterial compounds to help address antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in Acinetobacter baumannii bacteria. University ...

Hospital-acquired infections are often hard to treat because the corresponding pathogens become increasingly resistant against antibiotics. The bacterium Acinetobacter baumannii is particularly feared ...

Class A enzymes include β-lactamases that are active against penicillins and cephalosporins as well as extended-spectrum β-lactamases that are also active against penicillins and cephalosporins and in ...
