Meropenem/vaborbactam has been shown to be active both clinically and in vitro against:

• Escherichia coli
• Klebsiella pneumoniae
• Enterobacter cloacae species complex

Disk diffusion not only categorizes resistant, intermediate, and sensitive organisms through qualitative results but also provides a visual indication of the following:

• Inoculum levelPresence of contamination
• Resistant mutants
• Beta-lactamase activity
• Antagonism and synergy between antibiotics
