BACKGROUND: OP0595 is a diazabicyclooctane that (i) acts as a PBP2-active antibacterial, (ii) inhibits Class A and C β-lactamases and (iii), like mecillinam, gives β-lactamase-independent potentiation of β-lactams targeting other PBPs. We tested its behaviour against β-lactam-resistant Enterobacteriaceae and non-fermenters. METHODS: Organisms were UK clinical isolates; MICs were determined by CLSI agar dilution...
