Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: In the past decade, a new problem in Klebsiella pneumoniae strains has emerged: plasmid-mediated AmpC enzymes. This study was conducted to investigate the activity of cefepime against clinical isolates by determining the activities of cefepime and three other parenteral beta-lactam agents in standard and high inoculum MIC tests.
