Bush K and Jacboy G AAC 2010 Major families of β-lactamases of clinical importance
Extended-Spectrum β-Lactamases β-lactamases capable of conferring bacterial resistance to –the penicillins –first-, second-, and third-generation cephalosporins –aztreonam –(but not the cephamycins or carbapenems) These enzymes are derived from group 2b β- lactamases (TEM-1, TEM-2, and SHV-1) –differ from their progenitors by as few as one AA
CTX-M-type ESBLs Until 2000, most ESBL producers were hospital Klebsiella spp. with TEM and SHV mutant β-lactamases Now, the dominant ESBLs across most of Europe and Asia are CTX-M enzymes, which originated as genetic escapes from Kluyvera spp Currently recognized as the most widespread and threatening mechanism of antibiotic resistance, both in clinical and community settings –80% of ESBL-positive E. coli from bacteraemias in the UK and Ireland are resistant to fluoroquinolones –40% are resistant to gentamicin Livermore, DM J. Antimicrob. Chemother 2009
Carbapenemases Ability to hydrolyze penicillins, cephalosporins, monobactams, and carbapenems Resilient against inhibition by all commercially viable ß-lactamase inhibitors –Subgroup 2df: OXA (23 and 48) carbapenemases –Subgroup 2f : serine carbapenemases from molecular class A: GES and KPC –Subgroup 3b contains a smaller group of MBLs that preferentially hydrolyze carbapenems IMP and VIM enzymes that have appeared globally, most frequently in non-fermentative bacteria but also in Enterobacteriaceae
KPC (K. pneumoniae carbapenemase) KPCs are the most prevalent of this group of enzymes, found mostly on transferable plasmids in K. pneumoniae Substrate hydrolysis spectrum includes cephalosporins and carbapenems

Bush K and Jacboy G AAC 2010 Major families of β-lactamases of clinical importance
AmpC β-lactamases Once expressed at high levels, confer resistance to many β-lactam antimicrobials (excluding cefepime and carbapenems) In E. coli, constitutive over expression of AmpC β-lactamases can occur because – of mutations in the promoter and/or attenuator region (AmpC hyperproducers) – the acquisition of a transferable ampC gene on a plasmid or other transferable elements (plasmid- mediated AmpC β-lactamases)
