Piperacillin-Tazobactam Resistance Mechanisms in <i>Escherichia coli</i> and Identification of a CTX-M-255 β-Lactamase Selectively Conferring Resistance to Penicillin/β-Lactamase Inhibitor Combinations
2022-09-25
Abstract excerpt
Piperacillin/tazobactam (TZP) is a widely used penicillin/β-lactamase inhibitor combination with broad antimicrobial activity. Recently, Escherichia coli strains resistant to TZP but susceptible to third generation cephalosporins (TZP-R/3GC-S isolates) have been increasingly identified. Here, we investigated resistance mechanisms underlying the TZP-R/3GC-S phenotype in clinical E. coli isolates. A total of 29 T...
