In this issue of the , S. García-Fernandez, Y. Bala, T. Armstrong, M. Garcia-Castillo, et al. (J Clin Microbiol 58:e01042-19, 2020, https://doi.org/10.1128/JCM.01042-19) describe the performance of a reformulated Etest for piperacillin-tazobactam. The analytical performance data are excellent, but in the face of recent emerging data on the inefficacy of piperacillin-tazobactam for certain organisms that test susceptible, the value of piperacillin-tazobactam MICs is controversial. Evaluation of MICs in the context of the modal MIC for and , the variability of MIC tests, and, possibly, resistance mechanisms is important to the optimum use of this antimicrobial.
在本期《临床微生物学杂志》中,S. García-Fernandez、Y. Bala、T. Armstrong、M. Garcia-Castillo 等人(J Clin Microbiol 58:e01042-19, 2020, https://doi.org/10.1128/JCM.01042-19)描述了哌拉西林他唑巴坦的改良 Etest 的性能。分析性能数据非常出色,但面对最近关于某些测试敏感的生物体中哌拉西林他唑巴坦无效的新出现的数据,哌拉西林他唑巴坦 MIC 值的价值存在争议。在 和 的模式 MIC 背景下评估 MIC 值、MIC 测试的可变性,以及可能的耐药机制,对于合理使用这种抗菌药物非常重要。
