While reports of Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase (KPC) production among Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains have emerged from a number of countries worldwide, outcome data are lacking. This is the first report evaluating how KPC production in P. aeruginosa impacts the efficacy of carbapenems by using the murine thigh infection model. Our findings suggest that the impact of KPC-2 in vivo is less pronounced than would be anticipated based on the in vitro potency.
虽然世界各地有许多国家报告了铜绿假单胞菌中产碳青霉烯酶(KPC)的情况,但缺乏相关结果数据。这是首次使用小鼠大腿感染模型评估铜绿假单胞菌中产 KPC 对碳青霉烯类药物疗效的影响的报告。我们的研究结果表明,KPC-2 体内的影响比体外效力所预期的要小。
