Computationally guided discovery of novel inhibitors targeting Acinetobacter-derived cephalosporinase (AmpC) through structure-based methodologies.
Acinetobacter baumannii is a critical opportunistic pathogen responsible for a global health crisis, driven primarily by the rising prevalence of multidrug-resistant (MDR) strains. A central mechanism of β-lactam resistance in A. baumannii involves the overexpression of the class C β-lactamase AmpC, which degrades a wi...
