Background

Gram-negative bacteria with inducible or derepressable beta-lactamases, primarily AmpC β-lactamase

Organisms

Serratia
Providencia
Indole-positive Proteus (e.g. Proteus vulgaris, but not Proteus mirabilis)
Citrobacter
- Citrobacter koseri does not have an AmpC
Enterobacter cloacae, and now also Klebsiella aerogenes (previously Enterobacter aerogenes)
And maybe also:

Management

For Enterobacter cloacae, Klebsiella aerogenes, and Citrobacter freundii, avoid all penicillins and cephalosporins regardless of susceptibility testing
- Carbapenems still work, as do aminoglycosides
- Cefipime still works when MIC ≤2 mcg/mL
For Serratia marcescens, Morganella morganii, and Providencia, treat based on susceptibility testing
Less data for Hafnia alvei, Citrobacter youngae, and Yersinia enterocolitica, but reasonable to treat based on susceptibility testing
