By determining the beta-lactam susceptibility of Enterobacteriaceae
isolated in Eastern Romania from 1985 to 1993, three Escherichia coli,
three Salmonella typhimurium and one Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates with
reduced susceptibility to co-amoxiclav were found. The antibiotic
susceptibility of the isolates and their E. coli derivatives, and kinetic
values suggested the following resistance mechanisms: hyperproduction of
TEM in S. typhimurium, limited antibiotic uptake in K. pneumoniae and OXA
production in one strain of E. coli. Despite a normal beta-lactamase
activity, the two remaining E. coli strains and their derivatives were less
susceptible to co-amoxiclav.
