Efficacy of empirical therapy with non-carbapenems for urinary tract infections with extended-spectrum beta-lactamase-producing Enterobacteriaceae

Efficacy of empirical therapy with non-carbapenems for urinary tract infections with extended-spectrum beta-lactamase-producing Enterobacteriaceae

Objectives: Carbapenems are first-line agents for severe infections with extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing bacteria.
