Inhibitor resistant (IR) class A β -lactamases pose a signi fi cant threat to many current antibiotic combinations. The K234R substitution in the SHV β -lactamase, from Klebsiella pneumoniae, results in resistance to ampicillin/clavulanate. After site- saturation mutagenesis of Lys-234 in SHV, microbiological and biochemical character- ization of the resulting β -lactamases revealed that only − Arg conferred resistance to ampicillin/clavulanate. X-ray crystallography revealed two conformations of Arg-234 and Ser-130 in SHV K234R. The movement of Ser-130 is the principal cause of the observed clavulanate resistance. A panel of boronic acid inhibitors was designed and tested against SHV-1 and SHV K234R. A chiral ampicillin analogue was discovered to have a 2.4 ± 0.2 nM K i for SHV K234R; the chiral ampicillin analogue formed a more complex hydrogen- bonding network in SHV K234R vs SHV-1. Consideration of the spatial position of Ser- 130 and Lys-234 and this hydrogen-bonding network will be important in the design of novel antibiotics targeting IR β -lactamases.
