Cefepime, a fourth-generation, extended-spectrum cephalosporin, is often used to treat Enterobacteriaceae infections ([1][1]). Concentrations of cefepime above the MIC of the infecting organism for at least 60% to 70% of the dosing interval are recommended to obtain maximal bactericidal effects ([2
