Evaluating the Efficacies of Carbapenem/β-Lactamase Inhibitors Against Carbapenem-Resistant Gram-Negative Bacteria in vitro and in vivo

BackgroundCarbapenem-resistant Gram-negative bacteria are a major clinical concern as they cause virtually untreatable infections since carbapenems are among the last-resort antimicrobial agents. β-Lactamases implicated in carbapenem resistance include KPC, NDM, and OXA-type carbapenemases. Antimicr...
