* For [[Enterobacter cloacae]], [[Klebsiella aerogenes]], and [[Citrobacter freundii]], avoid all penicillins and cephalosporins regardless of susceptibility testing
* ''Not'' penicillins or cephalosporins, as resistance will develop within a few days
* Carbapenems still work, as do aminoglycosides
**[[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
