Mutation Rate of AmpC β-Lactamase–Producing Enterobacterales and Treatment in Clinical Practice: A Word of Caution
25 Mar 2024
Abstract excerpt
In a retrospective multicenter study of 575 patients with bloodstream infections or pneumonia due to wild-type AmpC β-lactamase-producing Enterobacterales, species with low in vitro mutation rates for AmpC derepression were associated with fewer treatment failures due to AmpC overproduction (adjusted hazard ratio, 0.5 [95% CI, .2-.9]). However, compared to cefepime/carbapenems, using third-generation...
