Enterobacter cloacae is a major nosocomial pathogen that causes serious infections,
including bloodstream infections (BSIs). The clinical significance of extended-spectrum β …

Objectives: In this study, we evaluated the performance of a new ESBL Etest configuration
based on clavulanate synergy with cefepime compared with cefotaxime–clavulanate and …

The purpose of this manuscript was to review recent literature and guidelines regarding
phenotypic detection of emerging β-lactamases [extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs) …

Production of extended-spectrum β-lactamases and plasmid-mediated AmpC enzymes was
investigated among 291 Escherichia coli and 282 Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates that …

Objectives: A total of 139 consecutive and non-duplicate bloodstream isolates of
Enterobacter spp. collected from inpatients in Hong Kong during 2000–2002 were studied …

Background: Extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBLs) may not always be detected in
routine susceptibility tests. This study reports the performance of the cefepime-clavulanate …

Multidrug resistant organisms (MDROs) constitute a major public health threat globally.
Clinical isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa remains one of the most studied MDROs …

The aim of this study was to ascertain the incidence and clinical significance of metallo-β-
lactamases among Enterobacter strains isolated from patients with nosocomial infections …

We assessed the occurrence and screening criterion for extended-spectrum β-lactamases
(ESBLs) among AmpC-producing Enterobacter cloacae, Citrobacter freundii, and Serratia …
