  1. Susceptibility interpretive criteria are based on a dose of 2 grams cefepime and 0.5 g enmetazobactam every 8 hours by intravenous infusion over 2 hours in patients with an estimated glomerular filtration rate from 60 mL/min to less than 130 mL/min.
  2. For disk diffusion, use paper disks impregnated with 30/20 mcg cefepime/enmetazobactam.
  3. Among Enterobacterales species, clinical efficacy was shown for Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Proteus mirabilis, and Enterobacter cloacae complex.
