Although several hundred efficient class D enzymes have been identified in Gram-negative pathogens over the last four decades, none have been reported in Gram-positive bacteria. Here we demonstrate that efficient class D beta-lactamases capable of hydrolyzing a wide array of beta-lactam substrates are widely disseminated in various species of environmental Gram-positive organisms. Class D enzymes of Gram-positive bacteria have a distinct structural architecture and employ a unique substrate-binding mode that is quite different from that of all currently known class A, C and D beta-lactamases. These enzymes thus constitute a previously unknown reservoir of novel antibiotic-resistance enzymes. Class D beta-lactamases do exist in Gram-positive bacteria.,Toth M, Antunes NT, Stewart NK, Frase H, Bhattacharya M, Smith CA, Vakulenko SB Nat Chem Biol. 2015 Nov 9. doi: 10.1038/nchembio.1950.
