Effect of inoculum size of Enterobacteriaceae producing SHV and CTX-M extended-spectrum ß-lactamases on the susceptibility to ß-lactam combinations with inhibitors and carbapenems
Aim Many extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBL) producingisolates of E. coli and K. pneumoniae are susceptible in vitro toamoxycillin-clavulanate (AMC), ceftazidime-clavulanate (CAZ/cl), and piperacillin-tazobactam (TZP), but MICs increase substantiallywhen higher inoculum is applied.
