[Resistance to cefepime in Enterobacter cloacae isolates from hospitals in Bogotá, Colombia].

Objective: The aim of this research was to detect the presence of genes encoding beta-lactamases which can confer cefepime resistance on Enterobacter cloacae isolates, meaning that this antibiotic may be considered an important therapeutic alternative.

Materials And Methods: 28 E. cloacae isolates collected from 4 hospitals in Bogotá during 2003 were analysed.
