The susceptibility of 218 extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Enterobacteriaceae isolates from companion animals to three cephamycins (cefmetazole, flomoxef, and latamoxef) was investigated. Phenotypic testing found 8 of 120 Klebsiella pneumoniae (KP) and 15 of 69 Enterobacter cloacae (EC) isolates were ESBL and AmpC β-lactamase (ABL) co-producers. Isolates of KP, P. mirabilis, and EC that only produced ESBL exhibited susceptibility rates to cefmetazole (95.5%, 82.7%, and 9.3%), flomoxef (99.1%, 96.6%, and 74.0%), and latamoxef (99.1%, 100%, and 100%), respectively. Notably, isolates of KP and EC co-producing ESBL and ABL had significantly lower susceptibility rates to the studied drugs when compared with only ESBL producers. This implies that the in vitro activity of cephamycins against ESBL-producing bacteria can differ depending on ABL production and bacterial species.
