The mutation frequency for carbapenem resistance in Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains that were selected with carbapenems was enhanced in the presence of subinhibitory concentrations of fluoroquinolones. The mutants showed either a loss of OprD activity or increased mexAB-oprM expression. The highest mutant isolation frequency was obtained by selection with meropenem, while doripenem inhibited mutant growth.
在亚抑菌浓度的氟喹诺酮存在的情况下,用碳青霉烯类药物筛选的铜绿假单胞菌菌株对碳青霉烯类药物的耐药突变频率会增加。这些突变体要么表现出OprD活性丧失,要么表现出mexAB-oprM表达增加。用美罗培南筛选获得的突变体分离频率最高,而多黏菌素B抑制突变体生长。
