What organisms do Carbapenems NOT cover?

HNPEK
CAPES
Atypical, VRE, MRSA, C. diff, Stenotrophomonas
Enterococci/Streptococci

The correct answer is: Atypical, VRE, MRSA, C. diff, Stenotrophomonas

Carbapenems do not cover Atypical bacteria, Vancomycin Resistant Enterococcus (VRE), Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA), Clostridium difficile (C. diff), and Stenotrophomonas. A, B, and D are incorrect because Carbapenems do cover HNPEK (Haemophilus, Neisseria, Proteus, E. coli, and Klebsiella), CAPES (Citrobacter, Acinetobacter, Pseudomonas, Enterobacter, and Serratia), and Enterococci/Streptococci, respectively. Therefore, the correct answer is C as it lists organisms that are not covered by Carbapenems.
