The presence of mild electrophiles, such as aldehydes, during the denaturation of glycoproteins or glycopeptides and subsequent enzymatic deglycosylation reduces artifacts in subsequent analyses of the glycans released from the glycoproteins or gly-copeptides.

The present disclosure relates to a compound represented by Chemical Formula 1, a probe for detecting antibiotic-resistant bacteria, which includes the compound, a composition containing the compound, a kit including the compound and a method for detecting antibiotic-resistant bacteria. A compound probe having a carbapenem structure and including a linker and a fluorophore can detect beta-lactamase or carbapenemase at high sensitivity and, therefore, can be applied to various biochemical researches. In addition, the compound probe can clinically detect carbapenemase-producing antibiotic-resistant bacteria and allows molecular diagnosis of antibiotic-resistant bacterial infectious diseases and analysis of antibiotic-resistant bacteria from a target sample at high sensitivity. Therefore, it can be effectively used for medicinal uses such as in-vitro diagnosis.
