Klebsiella pneumoniae Expressing VIM-1 Metallo-β-Lactamase Is Resensitized to Cefotaxime via Thiol-Mediated Zinc Chelation

Abstract: Antibiotic-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates constitute a great clinical challenge. One important resistance mechanism in K. pneumoniae is the metallo-β-lactamases (MBLs), which require zinc for their function. Thus, zinc chelation could be a strategy to resensitize K. pneumoniae to β-lactams. However, the potential role for endogenous zinc chelators for this purpose remains to be explored. The aim was to search for endogenous factors that could resensitize MBL-expressing K. pneumoniae to cefotaxime (CT… Show more

“…However, in recent years, the resistance to piperacillin/tazobactam, cefoperazone/sulbactam, and ampicillin/sulbactam in our hospital has been positively correlated with the use of β -lactams, and the elevated resistance may be attributed to their frequent use. The resistance to ceftazidime was positively correlated with the usage of glycopeptides and carbapenem, which was consistent with the results of previous research [ 21 ], and the high usage of antimicrobial drugs was one of the important causes of Klebsiella pneumonia resistance (all P < 0.05).…”

“…These results suggest that when system x c − is impaired, keratinocytes can utilize the transsulfuration pathway to generate cysteine; however, cysteine de ciency and related cell death cannot be prevented by promoting only the last step of the transsulfuration pathway. Besides, previous studies claimed that cysteine is an endogenous metal ion chelator [50,51]. Therefore, NAC not only maintains the antioxidant system by providing su cient sulfhydryl, but also can chelate ZnO NPs or Zn 2+ to alleviate ZnO NP-induced cell damage.…”
