Temocillin is a 6α-methoxy derivative of ticarcillin that is resilient to ESBLs. Prospective data about its in vivo activity remain scarce. Our aims were: (i) to evaluate the activity of temocillin in a urinary tract infection (UTI) model due to ESBL-producing Escherichia coli and compare it with that of imipenem; and (ii) to define in vivo susceptibility breakpoints.
