FDC MICs of KPC-producing Escherichia coli in a study of cefiderocol resistance conferred by plasmid-located ferric citrate transport system in KPC-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae. FDC susceptibility tests were performed according to manufacturer directives, with concentrations of 0 µM, 0.5 µM, and 5 µM ammonium ferric citrate on Escherichia coli DH5-α cells carrying different combinations of pKpQIL, R69c, and R69c-FEC plasmids. FDC, cefiderocol; KPC, Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase.
