Enterobacter antimicrobial resistance

Chevalier, J., Bredin, J., Mahamoud, A., Mallea, M., Barbe, J., and Pages, J.M. (2004) Inhibitors of antibiotic efflux in resistant Enterobacter aerogenes and Klebsiella pneumoniae strains. Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, 48 (3), 1043-1046. 

Empirical antimicrobial therapy may be inadequate as a consequence of the presence of unexpected pathogens not covered by the initial antibiotic schedule, hut this may be mainly due to unanticipated resistance. In most of the previously mentioned studies, a large proportion of the episodes of inadequate antimicrobial treatment were attributed to potentially resistant gram-negative bacteria (especially P. aeruginosa, Acinetobacter spp., and Enterobacter spp.) or MRSA.
