A High-Affinity Nanobody Selectively Recognizing KPC-2/KPC-3: Biochemical and Structural Insights

Carbapenemase-producing bacteria, particularly those expressing the KPC-3 variant, pose a critical global health threat due to their resistance to nearly all β-lactam antibiotics, including carbapenems. Rapid and reliable detection tools are urgently needed to improve infection control and guide pat...
