Enterobacter is a versatile bacterium able to promptly respond to the antibiotic treatment in the colonized patient. [mendeley.com]

The observed phenomenon may have implications not only for antimicrobial chemotherapy, but also for the prognosis of infectious diseases and infection control. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Overall mortality was 42%; factors associated with a poor prognosis were inadequacy of antimicrobial chemotherapy, septic shock, type of underlying disease, clinical condition, and requirement of intensive care. (Arch Intern Med 1985;145:1024-1027) [jamanetwork.com]

Thus, it can be presumed that bacteremia caused by antibiotic-resistant bacteria may have a poorer prognosis because of the delay in initiating appropriate antimicrobial therapy. [cid.oxfordjournals.org]
