The CLSI reduced the cefepime Enterobacteriaceae susceptibility breakpoint and introduced the susceptible-dose-dependent (S-DD) category. In this study, MICs were determined for a Gram-negative collection to assess the impact of this change. For Enterobacteriaceae, this resulted in <2% reduction in susceptibility, with 1% being S-DD. If applied to Pseudomonas aeruginosa, the % susceptibility (%S) dropped from 77% to 43%, with 34% being S-DD. The new breakpoints did little to the Enterobacteriaceae %S, but for P. aeruginosa, a profound reduction was seen in %S. The recognition of a S-DD response to cefepime should alert clinicians to the possible need for higher doses.
临床和实验室标准协会(CLSI)降低了头孢吡肟对肠杆菌科细菌的药敏折点,并引入了剂量依赖敏感(S-DD)类别。在本研究中,对一批革兰阴性菌进行了最低抑菌浓度(MIC)测定,以评估这一变化的影响。对于肠杆菌科细菌,这导致药敏率降低了不到2%,其中1%为S-DD。如果应用于铜绿假单胞菌,药敏率(%S)从77%降至43%,其中34%为S-DD。新的折点对肠杆菌科细菌的%S影响不大,但对铜绿假单胞菌而言,%S出现了显著下降。认识到对头孢吡肟的S-DD反应应提醒临床医生可能需要使用更高剂量。
