%X Carbapenems are the treatment of choice for bacteremia caused by extended spectrum ¦Â-lactamase producing Enterobacteriaceae (ESBL-E). The emergence carbapenem resistance (CR) in ESBL-E isolates has been described; however, the rate of such resistance in clinical settings is unknown. We describe the frequency and mechanisms of CR in recurrent ESBL-E bacteremia at an NCI-designated cancer center
