    Abstract: Cyclophilins are a subgroup of highly conserved protein family immunophilins which are peptidyl-prolyl isomerases that interconvert between the cis and trans positions. They can act as chaperones in maintaining conformational quality control of proteomes. They are structurally conserved throughout evolution and have been found in mammals, plants, i... Show More

    Abstract: Resistance to a wide variety of common antimicrobials is observed among clinical strains designated as extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) producers. They produce enzymatic proteins that effectively inactivate cephalosporins and aztreonam and are a serious global health problem that complicates treatment strategies. Many studies report a high prev... Show More
