Pterostilbene restores carbapenem susceptibility in New Delhi metallo‐β‐lactamase‐producing isolates by inhibiting the activity of New Delhi metallo‐β‐lactamases

摘要

Bacteria producing New Delhi metallo‐β‐lactamase‐1 (NDM‐1) are an increasing clinical threat. NDM‐1 can inactivate almost all β‐lactams and is not sensitive to any existing β‐lactamase inhibitors. To identify effective inhibitors of the NDM‐1 enzyme and clarify the mechanism of action, a “lead compound” for developing more potent NDM‐1 inhibitors needs to be provided.
