Evaluation of Piperacillin-Tazobactam ETEST for the Detection of OXA-1 Resistance Mechanism among Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae
23 Nov 2022
Abstract excerpt
Globally, piperacillin-tazobactam resistance among Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae is driven by OXA-1 beta-lactamases. Expression of bla OXA-1 yields piperacillin-tazobactam MICs of 8 to 16 μg/mL, which straddle the susceptible/susceptible-dose dependent breakpoint set by the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute in 2022.
