Background: Carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales represent a major therapeutic challenge. MBLs, requiring zinc at their catalytic site, could be inhibited by meso-dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA), a heavy metal chelator already widely used for treating lead intoxication.Objectives: To evaluate the activity of carbapenems alone or combined with DMSA against MBL-producing Escherichia coli in...
