Applications of BBa_K1927000

These enzymes carry resistance to carbapenems antibiotics. It may also become resistant to other antibiotics as well as this is a quite advanced enzyme. The part is without any promotor for safety reasons as it can become pathogenic if it’s cloned into bacteria. The strains producing this enzyme develop fast and thus are difficult to detect and treat. New and more sensitive diagnostic tools are needed to detect these ESBL producing bacteria. We submitted this part to the iGEM registry in the hope that future teams may use this part to develop other diagnostic tools or antimicrobial compounds towards this enzyme as it’s much needed. It would contribute to improve the antibiotic resistance situation in the world and would be very beneficial for public health.
