The broad antibacterial activity of carbapenems includes Gram-negative rods resistant to third generation cephalosporins. To increase the understanding of this improved activity, the factors involved in the efficacy of imipenem and ceftriaxone against Enterobacter cloacae have been examined. Resistance to ceftriaxone is primarily the result of a selection of resistant clones ("derepressed mutants"), pre-existing...
