@DrToddLee @GermHunterMD @drtimothyli Agree. A lot of ASPs are doing meropenem stewardship by changing people to ertapenem. Not sure they’re equivalent.

@IdVilchez @BradSpellberg @DrToddLee @ABsteward Yes S to all the usual agents. We generally have highly S Acinetobacter (thankfully). tmp/smx and minocycline sensi is pending, so it may turn out to be not quite everything else.

[Providence OR ID/Antimicrobial Stewardship Program @ProvOregonIDASP]

#IDTwitter KPC via Cepheid with Ertapenem S (< 0.5) and Meropenem R (>16), Imipenem R (8) tested on Vitek. We see this phenotype has been reported but not clear on mechanism. Any thoughts? @OncIDPharmd @wfwrighID @ErinMcCreary @ABsteward @IdVilchez @coltont00

[Providence OR ID/Antimicrobial Stewardship Program @ProvOregonIDASP]

@OncIDPharmd @ABsteward @wfwrighID @ErinMcCreary @IdVilchez @coltont00 First one we’ve seen. Carbapenamases extremely rare in OR. N=9 for the entire state ytd.

[Providence OR ID/Antimicrobial Stewardship Program @ProvOregonIDASP]

@ABsteward @OncIDPharmd @wfwrighID @ErinMcCreary @IdVilchez @coltont00 We found similar. Erta S on E test and S to Mero on disk diffusion

Great work, @FoxEPharmD!
