This study investigated the mechanisms involved in reduced susceptibility to amoxycillin-clavulanic acid and the prevalence of enzymes compatible with inhibitor-resistant TEM (IRT) beta-lactamases produced by Escherichia coli isolates from patients in north-eastern Spain. The resistance mechanisms of 158 strains showing resistance or intermediate resistance to amoxycillin-clavulanic acid among 1122...
