Even more than fifty years after the introduction of the antibiotics into the chemotherapy of infections diseases the problem of emerging resistance still seems to be unsolved. This volume provides a comprehensive view of the actual knowledges of bacterial resistances against the most commonly used
Bacterial resistance mechanisms to the antibiotics known as p-lactams, which include the penicillins and cephalosporins, can take several forms but frequently involve the production of p-lactamases from either plasrnid-or chromosomallyencoded loci. Gram negative bacteria express a P-lactamase from e
Two discovery approaches directed to addressing the problem of increasing bacterial resistance are described. The first is a program to build activity against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) into the cephalosporin class of antibacterials, by enhancing affinity for PBP2a, the penic
