The aminoglycoside-modifying enzyme AAC(6')-Ib is common among carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CR-Kp) strains. We investigated amikacin (AMK) activity against 20 AAC(6')-Ib-producing CR-Kp strains. MICs clustered at 16 to 32 μg/ml. By the time-kill study, AMK (1× and 4× the MIC) was bactericidal against 30% and 85% of the strains, respectively. At achievable human serum concentrations, however, the majority of strains showed regrowth, suggesting that AAC(6')-Ib confers intermediate AMK resistance. AMK and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (TMP-SMX) were synergistic against 90% of the strains, indicating that the combination may overcome resistance.
氨基糖苷修饰酶AAC(6')-Ib在耐碳青霉烯肺炎克雷伯菌(CR-Kp)菌株中很常见。我们研究了阿米卡星(AMK)对20株产AAC(6')-Ib的CR-Kp菌株的活性。最低抑菌浓度(MIC)集中在16至32μg/ml。通过时间杀菌研究,AMK(1倍和4倍MIC)分别对30%和85%的菌株具有杀菌作用。然而,在可达到的人体血清浓度下,大多数菌株出现再生长,这表明AAC(6')-Ib赋予了对AMK的中度耐药性。AMK与复方磺胺甲恶唑(TMP-SMX)对90%的菌株具有协同作用,这表明联合用药可能克服耐药性。
