1 (Plasmid mediated) Carbapenemases Timothy R. Walsh, Cardiff University, Wales

2 What is a carbapenemase? How much carbapenem do they need to breakdown before they are called a carbapenemase? ESBL-enzymes have relatively low hydrolytic capacities of carbapenems, we suggest that only enzymes demonstrating imipenemase activity (Kcat/Vmax) of greater than 1 (μm-1 S-1) (Redefining extended-spectrum -lactamases: balancing science and clinical need. Giske et al. JAC :1-4)

3 Are carbapenemases ESBLs? moving on from 1989 GES-1, GES-2, GES-3, GES-4, GES-5 and GES-6 and GES- 7 are ESBLs GES-2, GES-4, GES-5 and GES-6 are carbapenemases!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AND GES-5 is referred to in the literature as an ESBL (Redefining extended-spectrum -lactamases: balancing science and clinical need. Giske et al. JAC :1-4)

4 Carbapenemase Groups KPC (class A) serine BL GES (class A) serine BL OXA (class D) serine BL Metallo- -lactamases (class B)

31 How complicated can it get? We don t know but mathematically it is likely to increase

32 Resistance/transfer occurs as a direct response to antibiotic usage? Transfer? quinolones? Spread of Resistance - probably

33 Is there a link between resistance and virulence? We don t know BUT!
