a
 Some KPC enzyme types, such as KPC­2, can hydrolyze clavulanic acid, tazobactam, and sulbactam. However, this ability to
hydrolyze these β­Lactamase Inhibitors is uncommon in Class A enzymes [8, 9].
b OXA­48 is weakly active against extended spectrum cephalosporins and hydrolyzes carbapenems only minimally [10].
