Routine monitoring of antibiotic resistance at Children's Hospital, Boston, detected a dramatic increase in the prevalence of imipenem-resistant strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Further studies documented that false resistance to imipenem was due, in part, to the loss of imipenem potency in customized MIC microdilution trays supplied by Sensititre Ltd. (West Sussex, United Kingdom). Recognition of the problem was delayed by use of the quality control standard recommended by the manufacturer, which were higher and broader than those suggested by the National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards.
波士顿儿童医院对抗生素耐药性的常规监测发现,铜绿假单胞菌对亚胺培南耐药菌株的流行率急剧上升。进一步研究表明,对亚胺培南的假耐药性部分归因于Sensititre有限公司(英国西苏塞克斯)提供的定制微量肉汤稀释药敏板中亚胺培南效力的丧失。由于使用了制造商推荐的质量控制标准,该问题的识别被延迟,制造商推荐的标准比美国国家临床实验室标准委员会建议的标准更高、范围更广。
