I've been working through Uworld and there is a discrepancy.
When you have a beta-lactamase (+) organism, is it susceptible to cephlasporins or not?
I understand cephlasporins are beta-lactams, but I've come across a question that said beta-lactamase organisms really only work against penicillins and not so much cephlasporins.
Now, I'm seeing a question that they do render them inactive.
Anyone have some insight on this specific subject?
