The aim of this study was to identify phenotypic changes in a laboratory-derived strain of ertapenem-resistant Escherichia coli (Ec-ERT) when compared to its susceptible parent strain (Ec-WT). In both strains, we assessed both the effects of ertapenem via time-kill curves and the occurrence of cross resistance with other beta-lactams. The strains were compared based on growth pattern, biochemical-physiological...
