To evaluate the antibacterial activity of fosfomycin-meropenem and fosfomycin-colistin combinations against carbapenem-resistant (CR-Kp).
A total of 50 CR-Kp isolates recovered from blood cultures were included in this study. All the CR-Kp isolates were screened for the presence of carbapenem resistant genes . . . like, . .#x00A0;and . Combination testing of fosfomycin-meropenem and fosfomycin-colistin were performed using time-kill assay.
Fosfomycin-meropenem combination showed synergy in 20% of the tested CR-Kp isolates. While, fosfomycin-colistin exhibited synergy against 16% of the isolates. A total of 68% (n = 34) of CR-Kp isolates were characterised as OXA-48-like producers and 22% (n = 11) as NDM producers. Synergistic activity of these combinations was observed against OXA-48, NDM and NDM + OXA-48 co-producers.
Considerable synergistic antibacterial activity of fosfomycin-meropenem and fosfomycin-colistin was not observed against CR-Kp isolates. Therefore, these combinations may not be promising for infections associated with CR-Kp.
评估磷霉素-美罗培南及磷霉素-黏菌素联合用药对耐碳青霉烯类肺炎克雷伯菌(CR-Kp)的抗菌活性。
本研究纳入了从血培养中分离出的50株CR-Kp菌株。对所有CR-Kp菌株进行碳青霉烯耐药基因……如……和……的筛查。采用时间杀菌试验对磷霉素-美罗培南及磷霉素-黏菌素进行联合检测。
磷霉素-美罗培南联合用药在20%的受试CR-Kp菌株中显示出协同作用。而磷霉素-黏菌素对16%的菌株表现出协同作用。共有68%(n = 34)的CR-Kp菌株被鉴定为OXA-48样产酶株,22%(n = 11)为NDM产酶株。观察到这些联合用药对OXA-48、NDM及NDM + OXA-48共产生菌株具有协同活性。
未观察到磷霉素-美罗培南及磷霉素-黏菌素对CR-Kp菌株有显著的协同抗菌活性。因此,这些联合用药对与CR-Kp相关的感染可能没有前景。
