Purified recombinant VIM-7 possesses efficient penicillinase and carbapenemase activities comparable to those of VIM-2. Cephalosporinase activity was variable and generally lower than those of VIM-1 and VIM-2. A homology model suggests that the VIM-7 Tyr-218 Phe substitution may be responsible for the reduced catalytic efficiency against certain cephalosporins, including ceftazidime and cefepime.
纯化的重组VIM-7具有与VIM-2相当的高效青霉素酶和碳青霉烯酶活性。头孢菌素酶活性存在差异,通常低于VIM-1和VIM-2。同源模型表明,VIM-7的酪氨酸218被苯丙氨酸取代可能是导致其对某些头孢菌素(包括头孢他啶和头孢吡肟)催化效率降低的原因。
