hello!
I have been through your question.
You should know that carbapenems are generally considered the drug of choice for the treatment of ESBL-EC infections so, related your concern I think ertapenem may be a good option due to the fact that it is administered only once daily, in intramuscular or intravenous way unlike the other carbapenems.
I hope my answer helps you.
I wish you a quick recovery.
