Table 2 Antimicrobial susceptibility of extended β-lactam-resistant E. coli and K. pneumoniae blood isolates to three cephamycins.

From: Antimicrobial activity of cephamycins and β-lactam/β-lactamase inhibitors against ESBL-producing Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae under standard and high bacterial inocula

  1. ECO Escherichia coli; KPN, Klebsiella pneumoniae; MIC minimum inhibitory concentration;
  2. Red highlight indicates resistance category, blue indicates intermediate category, and black indicates sensitivity category.
  3. Gray background indicates the presence of an inoculum effect.
  4. aThere is no MIC breakpoint available for flomoxef, and physicians in countries where flomoxef is available use the latamoxef MIC breakpoint, which is available from the CLSI. Isolates are reported as susceptible to flomoxef at a MIC of ≤ 8 mg/L; as intermediate at an MIC of 16 mg/L and as resistant at an MIC ≥ 32 mg/L.
