extended-spectrum b-lactamase (ESBL)‐ or AmpC-producing gram-negative bacteria. At that time, only a few b-lactamases could inactivate carbapenems, and these were limited to rare strains of Enterobacter cloacae possessing serine carbapenemases called NMC-A (Non Metallo Carbapenmase-A) and IMI-1 (Imipenemase-I), Sme-1 (Serratia marcescens), MBLs BcI and BcII of Bacillus cereus, the MBL L1 of Stenotrophomonas maltophilia, and CcrA of Bacteroides fragilis (another MBL) [3].
