The class A carbapenemase KPC-6 produces resistance to a broad range of β-lactam antibiotics. This enzyme hydrolyzes penicillins, the monobactam aztreonam, and carbapenems with similar catalytic efficiencies, ranging from 10(5) to 10(6) M(-1) s(-1). The catalytic efficiencies of KPC-6 against cephems vary to a greater extent, ranging from 10(3) M(-1) s(-1) for the cephamycin cefoxitin and the extended-spectrum cephalosporin ceftazidime to 10(5) to 10(6) M(-1) s(-1) for the narrow-spectrum and some of the extended-spectrum cephalosporins.
A 类碳青霉烯酶 KPC-6 可导致对多种β-内酰胺类抗生素产生耐药性。该酶对青霉素类、单环β-内酰胺类氨曲南和碳青霉烯类的水解速度相似,酶动力学常数(Kcat)在 10(5) 到 10(6) M(-1) s(-1) 之间。KPC-6 对头孢菌素类的催化效率差异较大,头孢噻肟的 Kcat 值为 10(3) M(-1) s(-1),头孢西丁为头孢菌素类的碳青霉烯类,而头孢他啶和头孢吡肟的 Kcat 值为 10(5) 到 10(6) M(-1) s(-1)。
