  2. 1. β-lactam combinations against multidrug-resistant Enterobacterales : Exploring combination effects and resistance development

    Author : Lisa Allander; Thomas Tängdén; Linus Sandegren; Pernilla Lagerbäck; Arnfinn Sundsfjord; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Gram-negative bacteria; antibiotic combination therapy; antibiotic resistance; beta-lactams; beta-lactamase inhibitors; Infektionssjukdomar; Infectious Diseases;

    Abstract : The β-lactam antibiotics are a cornerstone in treating bacterial infections, but the increasing prevalence of antibiotic resistance worldwide threatens their effectiveness. The main driver of β-lactam resistance is the production of β-lactamases, which are bacterial enzymes that inactivate the antibiotic. READ MORE
