What is it about?
Imipenem MIC >=2 mg/L, cefepime MIC >8 mg/L, and isolates cultured from the peritoneal space were the independent predictors as carbapenemase producers of ertapenem-non-susceptible isolates (NDM, and IMP producers predominantly) causing intra-abdominal infections

Why is it important?
These results might help us with judging the emergence of carbapenemase producers among ertapenem-non-susceptible intra-abdominal Enterobacteriaceae isolates, and further decide which antimicrobial agents should be chosen correctly
Perspectives
It is helpful in choosing correct antibiotic regimen for clinicians in the Asia-Pacific region
