Plasmid-Mediated Resistance to Expanded-Spectrum Cephalosporins among Enterobacter aerogenes Strains

Resistance to expanded-spectrum cephalosporins commonly develops in Enterobacter aerogenes during therapy due to selection of mutants producing high levels of the chromosomal Bush group 1 β-lactamase. Recently, resistant strains producing plasmid-mediated extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs) have...
