title = "The Role of Ertapenem for the Treatment of Complicated Intra-abdominal Infections with a Positive Culture for Enterococcus faecalis",
abstract = "Controversy remains as to whether Enterococcus faecalis recovered from intra-abdominal infections (IAIs) requires targeted therapy. In a multicenter study comparing patients with IAIs from which E. faecalis was identified in intra-abdominal cultures, no difference in clinical outcomes was observed between patients receiving ertapenem vs those receiving piperacillin/tazobactam.",
