Cefazolin and imipenem enhance AmpC expression and resistance in NagZ-dependent manner in Enterobacter cloacae complex
29 Nov 2022
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Enterobacter cloacae complex (ECC) is a common opportunistic pathogen and is responsible for causing various infections in humans. Owing to its inducible chromosomal AmpC β-lactamase (AmpC), ECC is inherently resistant to the 1st- and 2nd- generation cephalosporins. However, whether β-lactams antibiotics enhance ECC resistance remains unclear. RESULTS: In this study, we found that subinhibitory...
