We apologize for Proteopedia being slow to respond. For the past two years, a new implementation of Proteopedia has been being built. Soon, it will replace this 18-year old system. All existing content will be moved to the new system at a date that will be announced here.

New Delhi metallo-beta-lactamases (NDMs), pose a serious threat due to their extremely efficient mechanism of hydrolysis on beta-lactam antibiotics. These antibiotics target the penicillin-binding proteins in enzymes found anchored in the cell membrane, which are involved in the cross-linking of the bacterial cell wall. The beta-lactam ring binds to different penicillin-binding proteins making them unable to do cell wall synthesis which leads to death of the bacterial cell. The NDM-1 gene causes the bacterium to produce an enzyme that neutralizes even the strongest antibiotics family: (Carbapenems) imipenem is in that family and only used as last resort.The antibiotics strain that carries the NDM-1 gene are so dangerous because we have no way to combat them. | New Delhi metallo-beta-lactamases (NDMs), pose a serious threat due to their extremely efficient mechanism of hydrolysis on beta-lactam antibiotics.
