  1. Catheters include arterial and central venous catheters. Effective antimicrobial therapy includes empirical and definitive antimicrobial therapy. AmpC+ corresponds to all overproducing-AmpC AE occurring during the treatment of the infection until discharge from the ICU. Mortality refers to all-cause mortality
  2. wtAE: wild-type AmpC-producing Enterobacterales; ICU: Intensive Care Unit; Nb: number of available values for the data; MV: mechanical ventilation (invasive); SOFA: Sequential Organ Failure Assessment
