Antibiotic Resistance and Substrate Profiles of the Class A Carbapenemase KPC-6

The class A carbapenemase KPC-6 produces resistance to a broad range of β-lactam antibiotics. This enzyme hydrolyzes penicillins, the monobactam aztreonam, and carbapenems with similar catalytic efficiencies, ranging from 10(5) to 10(6) M(−1) s(−1). The catalytic efficiencies of KPC-6 against cephem...
