Abstract excerpt
The ability of imipenem and meropenem in subinhibitory concentrations to influence the results of disk diffusion susceptibility tests was assessed. Selection of stably derepressed mutants resistant to beta-lactam antibiotics other than carbapenems was also investigated. Beta-lactams were shown to...
