Providencia species
General Susceptibility

General Susceptibility

  • Does not typically harbor AmpC beta-lactamases, therefore use susceptibility results to guide de-escalation
  • Variable rates of ESBL production reported in literature
  • Uncommonly isolated at MHS (<100 isolates system-wide in 2022)
    • Of these there was a low rate of ESBL production
  • Intrinsically resistant to cefazolin, ampicillin, Augmentin, nitrofurantoin
