Activity fingerprinting of AMR β-lactamase towards a fast and accurate diagnosis.

ABSTRACT: Antibiotic resistance has become a serious threat to global public health and economic development. Rapid and accurate identification of a patient status for antimicrobial resistance (AMR) are urgently needed in clinical diagnosis. Here we describe the development of an assay method for activity fingerprinting of AMR β-lactamases using panels of 7 β-lactam antibiotics in 35 min. New Deli Metallo β-lactamase-1 (NDM-1) and penicillinase were demonstrated as two different classes of β-lactamases. The panel consisted of three classes of antibiotics, including: penicillins (penicillin G, piperacillin), cephalosporins (cefepime, ceftriaxone, cefazolin) and carbapenems (meropenem and imipenem). The assay employed a scheme combines the catalytic reaction of AMR β-lactamases on antibiotic substrate
