Abstract excerpt
Resistance to Ceftazidime-Avibactam in Enterobacter cloacae is poorly understood. Whole genome sequencing identified 6 variants in isolates collected from a patient before and after acquiring Ceftazidime-Avibactam resistance. This included a Phe396Leu mutation in acrB, a component of the AcrAB-TolC efflux pump, possibly mediating enhanced efflux of Ceftazidime and/ or Avibactam.
