Meropenem-vaborbactam is a new agent with the potential to treat carbapenem-resistantEnterobacteriaceae (CRE) infections. We describe thein vitro activity of meropenem-vaborbactam against representative CRE genotypes and laboratory-engineeredEscherichia coli isolates harboring mutantbla KPC genes associated with ceftazidime-avibactam resistance.
