Actividad comparativa del ertapenem frente a Klebsiella pneumoniae productor de betalactamasas de espectro extendido o betalactamasas de AmpC plasmídicas: efecto inóculo y papel de la pérdida de porinas

Ertapenem showed high activity against K. pneumoniae strains expressing ESBL, pACBL or both. Strains deficient in porins showed decreased susceptibility to beta lactams. The inoculum effect had a greater impact on imipenem than on ertapenem.
