Molecular epidemiology and β-lactam resistance mechanisms of Enterobacter cloacae complex isolates obtained from bloodstream infections, Kyoto, Japan

Microbiology Spectrum
The Enterobacter cloacae complex (ECC) comprises multiple species that require genomic analysis for precise identification. They produce inducible AmpC β-lactamase and may carry acquired β-lactamases, which are responsible for cefotaxime and cefepime ...

Negative myoclonus as a manifestation of cefepime neurotoxicity

Clinical Case Reports
Key Clinical Message Negative myoclonus may present in the early stages of cefepime neurotoxicity. Cefepime neurotoxicity typically presents as reduced consciousness, myoclonus, and seizures; however, negative myoclonus is uncommon.

Cefepime restriction improves gram-negative overall resistance patterns in neonatal intensive care unit

Brazilian Journal of Infectious Diseases
Antibiotic restriction can be useful in maintaining bacterial susceptibility. The objective of this study was verify if restriction of cefepime, the most frequently used cephalosporin in our neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), would ameliorate broad ...

CEFEPIME/ENMETAZOBACTAM: Physicochemical Stability of a Novel β-Lactam/β-Lactamase Inhibitor Combination in Syringes and Elastomeric Devices

Antibiotics
Background: Cefepime/enmetazobactam (FEP/META) is a novel fixed-dose β-lactam/β-lactamase inhibitor combination. The objective was to study the physicochemical stability of the approved daily dose in polypropylene syringes and elastomeric devices over a ...

Cefepime monotherapy for the empirical treatment of fever in granulocytopenic cancer patients [PDF]

, 2017
In a pilot study, we evaluated the efficacy and the safety of cefepime, a new cephalosporin with extended-spectrum activity against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, as empirical monotherapy for 108 febrile episodes in 84 granulocytopenic ...
