Molecular mechanisms that confer antibacterial drug resistance

TL;DR: The authors live in an era when antibiotic resistance has spread at an alarming rate and dire predictions concerning the lack of effective antibacterial drugs occur with increasing frequency, so it is apposite to ask a few simple questions about these life-saving molecules.

Metallo-β-Lactamases: the Quiet before the Storm?

TL;DR: Their rapid dissemination is worrisome and necessitates the implementation of not just surveillance studies but also metallo-β-lactamase inhibitor studies securing the longevity of important anti-infectives.

Darwinian evolution can follow only very few mutational paths to fitter proteins.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that 102 mutational trajectories linking β-lactamase alleles are inaccessible to Darwinian selection and that many of the remaining trajectories have negligible probabilities of realization, which implies that the protein tape of life may be largely reproducible and even predictable.

Nutritional immunity: transition metals at the pathogen-host interface.

TL;DR: This Review discusses established and emerging paradigms in nutrient metal homeostasis at the pathogen–host interface and investigates both the essentiality and toxicity of transition metals in biological systems.
