Abstract

and levofloxacin showed susceptibility rates ranging from 63.1% to 87.1% against ENT, EC, and KPN. TBP (MIC50/90, 0.12/0.12 mg/L) inhibited all PM at £0.25 mg/L. PM isolates were susceptible to ERT (100.0%), CAZ (98.7%), cefuroxime (94.4%), and amoxicillin/ clavulanate (96.6%), whereas susceptibility rates of 71.8-76.8% were noted for TMP-SMX and levofloxacin. CONCLUSIONS: TBP displayed potent activity against ENT UTI pathogens recovered from patients in the US. TBP demonstrated in vitro activity against these UTI pathogens similar to that of ERT. In addition, these data showed compromised activity of intravenous and oral agents used for treating UTI. This data supports the development of tebipenem as an oral option for management of UTI in the US.
