%X the aims of this study were to evaluate the in vitro activity of extended-spectrum cephalosporins (esc) in non-inducible ampc enterobacteria thro¦Ìgh phenotypic and genotypic characterization of the mechanisms of resistance (esbl, plasmid-mediated ampc and kpc) and to evaluate the interpretation criteria proposed by the existing recommendations and the new breakpoints established by the clsi and the eucast. susceptibility tests and pcr multiplex for b/ashv and b/actx-m and amplification using specific primers was performed. one hundred sixty nine resistant isolates: k/ebsie//a pneumoniae (95), escherichia co/i (55), and proteus mirabi/is (19) were recovered. esc resistance was 56.2 %, 32.6%, and 11.2 %, respectively. esbl was detected in 152 (90 %) isolates, plasmid-mediated ampc in 12 (7 %) and kpc in 5 (3 %). the clsi 2009 recommendations and the breakpoints s¦Ìggested by the clsi 2010 and the eucast for ceftriaxone were efficacious to detect esbl, whereas the different breakpoints for ceftazidime presented discrepancies. the clsi 2010 breakpoints only detected 55 % of the esbl-producing isolates due to the endemic presence of ctx-m esbls in our country. regarding the plasmid-mediated ampc producers, the recommendations of the clsi 2010 and the eucast 2010 proved to be more efficient than the old ones.
