The characteristics of an antibiotic that favor its ability to select for resistant bacteria are not completely understood. Otherwise, by the common use of broad-spectrum cephalosporins, resistant strains of several gram-negative species, especially Enterobacter cloacae, have been more frequently isolated. During our studies on beta-lactam resistance in E. cloacae, we observed that the addition of an inhibitor...
