A woman infected by carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae is reported in this study.
Tigecycline and meropenem combination was used, and indeed, in vitro checkerboard synergy test confirmed the antagonism between the two antibiotics. Thus, meropenem was ceased and single high-dose tigecycline was successful against the infection. Subsequent experiments showed that the isolates of the KPC-2-producing K. pneumoniae ST11 clone caused the infection.
Therefore, tigecycline and meropenem combination should be used with caution.
本研究报告了一例感染碳青霉烯类耐药肺炎克雷伯菌的女性患者。
使用替加环素和美罗培南联合治疗,体外棋盘微量稀释协同试验证实这两种抗生素存在拮抗作用。因此,停止使用美罗培南,改用单剂高剂量替加环素成功治愈了感染。后续实验表明,感染是由产 KPC-2 的肺炎克雷伯菌 ST11 克隆的分离株引起的。
因此,替加环素和美罗培南联合使用时应谨慎。
