Thein vitro activity of sulopenem was assessed against a collection from 2014 to 2016 of 539 urinary isolates ofEscherichia coli from Canadian patients by using CLSI-defined broth microdilution methodology. A concentration of sulopenem 0.03 µg/ml inhibited both 50% (MIC50 ) and 90% (MIC90 ) of isolates tested; sulopenem MICs ranged from 0.015 to 0.25 µg/ml.
