MBLs are molecularly the most diverse carbapenemases, produced by a wide spectrum of gram-negative organisms, including the Enterobacterales, Pseudomonas spp., Acinetobacter baumannii, and Stenotrophomonas maltophilia, and can hydrolyze most β-lactams using metal ion cofactors in their active sites. Over the years, the prevalence of MBL-carrying isolates has increased globally, particularly in Asia. MBL infections are associated with adverse clinical outcomes including longer length of hospital stay, ICU admission, and increased mortality across the globe. The optimal treatment for MBL infections not only depends on the pathogen but also on the underlying resistance mechanisms. Currently, there are only few drugs or drug combinations that can efficiently offset MBL-mediated resistance, which makes the treatment of MBL infections challenging. The rising concern of MBLs along with the limited treatment options has led to the need and development of drugs that are specifically targeted towards MBLs. This review discusses the prevalence of MBLs, their clinical impact, and the current treatment options for MBL infections and their limitations. Furthermore, this review will discuss agents currently in the pipeline for treatment of MBL infections.</p>","PeriodicalId":13592,"journal":{"name":"Infectious Diseases and Therapy","volume":" ","pages":"2423-2447"},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2024-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11499561/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142345906","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
