Abstract
The ability of imipenem and meropenem in subinhibitory concentrations to influence the results of disk diffusion susceptibility tests was assessed. Selection of stably derepressed mutants resistant to beta-lactam antibiotics other than carbapenems was also investigated. Beta-lactams were shown to be subject to carbapenem-mediated antagonism in the disk diffusion test. On the other hand in vitro selection of stably derepressed mutants resistant to other beta-lactams could not be demonstrated.Entities:
