OXA-1 β-lactamase and non-susceptibility to penicillin/β-lactamase inhibitor combinations among ESBL-producingEscherichia coli
10 Oct 2018
Abstract excerpt
Background: ESBL-producing Escherichia coli have expanded globally since the turn of the century and present a major public health issue. Their in vitro susceptibility to penicillin/inhibitor combinations is variable, and clinical use of these combinations against ESBL producers remains controversial. We hypothesized that this variability related to co-production of OXA-1 penicillinase. Methods: During a national...
