The number of cases of infection with carbapenem-resistantEnterobacteriaceae (CRE) has been increasing and has become a major clinical and public health concern. Production of metallo-β-lactamases (MBLs) is one of the principal carbapenem resistance mechanisms in CRE. Therefore, developing MBL inhibitors is a promising strategy to overcome the problems of carbapenem resistance conferred by MBLs.
