Comparative effectiveness of flomoxef versus carbapenems in the treatment of bacteraemia due to extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing Escherichia coli or Klebsiella pneumoniae with emphasis on minimum inhibitory concentration of flomoxef: a retrospective study

Highlights • We compared the outcomes of patients with bacteraemia due to ESBL-producers. • We discuss the implications of ESBL-producers with different flomoxef MICs. • A suboptimal clinical outcome is anticipated when flomoxef is given. • Flomoxef is suggested for bacteraemia due to ESBL-producing...

Zusammenfassung:Highlights • We compared the outcomes of patients with bacteraemia due to ESBL-producers. • We discuss the implications of ESBL-producers with different flomoxef MICs. • A suboptimal clinical outcome is anticipated when flomoxef is given. • Flomoxef is suggested for bacteraemia due to ESBL-producing isolates with a MICflomoxef ≤1 mg/L.
