Susceptibilities of ESBL-Producing Enterobacteriaeceae To Ertapenem, Meropenem and Piperacillin-Tazobactam -

Objectives: The susceptibilities of ESBL-producing E.coli and K. pneumoniae to ertapenem, meropenem and piperacillin-tazobactam.53 strains of E.coli and K. pneumoniae were studied. Methods: They were originally resistant to ceftazidine. Minimum inhibitory concentration of the strains towards ertapenem, meropenem and piperacillin-tazobactam were determined by Vitek-2 compact system. Results: The MICs of all ertapenem and meropenem for all isolates were
