Table 2 Resistance mechanisms of carbapenemase producing Enterobacteriaceae

Class	Genetic mutation	Clavulanic acid inhibition
Class A	Chromosomal encoded (NmcA, Sme, IMI-1, SFC-1)	Partially inhibited
Class A	Plasmid encoded (IMI-2, GES, KPC)	Partially inhibited
Class B	Metallo-β-lactamase (IMP, VIM and NDM-1, SIM, GIM, SPM)	Resistant to clavulanic acid
Class D	Plasmid encoded oxa-48	Resistant to clavulanic aci
