11 Acute Pyelonephritis: 5 or 10-day Treatment Regimen INTRODUCTION
The Enterobacter cloacae complex is responsible for a variety of infections in hospitalized patients and is resistant to β-lactam antibiotics owing to the expression of AmpC β-lactamase
Background: There have been no reports in Bulgaria about quinolone resistance determinants among Enterobacter spp
