The antimicrobial activity of tebipenem and other carbapenem agents were testedin vitro against a set of recent clinical isolates responsible for urinary tract infection (UTI), as well as against a challenge set. Isolates were tested by reference broth microdilution and includedEscherichia coli (101 isolates),Klebsiella pneumoniae (208 isolates), andProteus mirabilis (103 isolates) species.
