RESUMO
Enterobacter spp. are rarely resistant to carbapenems. In this report, one Enterobacter sp. isolate possessed blaKPC-3 and two possessed blaKPC-2. For all three strains, the imipenem MICs were dependent on the inoculum and testing method; two were reported by the clinical laboratories to be carbapenem susceptible. Improved detection methods will be necessary to identify these enzymes.
