Antimicrobial susceptibility and distribution trends among inducible AmpC-producing Enterobacterales at a regional health authority in British Columbia: a 5-year retrospective review
Between 2019 and 2024, 95.4% of our isolates demonstrated susceptibility to cefepime within our local health authority. Further research will correlate patient outcomes and establish MIC thresholds to guide routine testing and clinical use of cefepime.
