These staphylococci do not produce penicillinase enzyme, and Gram-negative bacteria such as Salmonella spp., Enterococcus, Proteus mirabilis and Haemophilus parahemoliticus. Most Klebsiella, Proteus, Pseudomonas, Serratia, Citrobacter, Mycoplasma, and Mycobacterium species are resistant to aminopenicillins.
