Escherichia coli that produce plasmid-mediated AmpC β-lactamases are rare in the United States. The clinical features associated with infection these organisms have not been well described. We identified 2 isolates of E. produced enzyme β-lactamase CMY-2. These were recovered from urine specimens and resistant to ceftazidime, ceftriaxone, cefepime. One isolate was ertapenem but susceptible imipenem meropenem; other imipenem, meropenem, ertapenem. infected patients did require specific...
