Klebsiella oxytoca is a member of the family of Enterobacteriaceae and often contains the β-lactamase blaOXY gene. Although this β-lactamase does not naturally hydrolyse ceftazidime, this study describes possible in vivo selection of a clinical K. oxytoca isolate showing increased MICs of ceftazidime.
