Interesting update from EUCAST this morning: there are newer beta-lactamase inhibitors in development which not only break down bacterial enzymes that stop beta-lactam antibiotics (e.g penicillin) from working, but also have direct bactericidal activity against the bacteria. Shield and sword dual wield, in effect. #ESCMID #ESCMID2026
