Susceptibility was 100% with imipenem, ertapenem and amikacin, 95.7% with piperacillin-tazobactam, 91.3% with cefoxitin, 87% with tobramycin, 81.7% with amoxicillin-clavulanate, 80% with cefepime, 67.8% with ceftazidime, 27.8% with ciprofloxacin, 27% with levofloxacin and 13% with ceftriaxone. Ertapenem was the antibiotic with the lowest minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) for all isolates. There were no clinically relevant differences in the activity of the antibiotics in the presence of CTX-M-9 or SHV enzymes.}, publisher = {Wiley}, keywords = {Escherichia coli}, keywords = {ESBLs}, keywords = {Microdilution}, keywords = {Susceptibility}, title = {Activity in vitro of twelve antibiotics against clinical isolates of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase producing Escherichia coli}, doi = {10.1002/jobm.200710318}, author = {Solorzano Puerto, Antonio and Gutiérrez Fernández, José and Romero, José María and Luna Del Castillo, Juan De Dios and Damas, Miguel and Piédrola Angulo, Gonzalo}, }
