Bloodstream infection (BSI) caused by carbapenem-resistant P. aeruginosa (CRPA) has high mortality in hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) recipients. We performed MIC, checkerboard, time-kill assay, PFGE, PCR, and whole genome sequence and described the clinical outcome through Epi Info comparing the antimicrobial combination in vitro. Mortality was higher in BSI caused by CRPA carrying the lasB virulence gene. The isolates were 97% resistant to meropenem displaying synergistic effect to 57% in combination with colistin. Seventy-three percent of the isolates harbored bla and Tn4371 and belonged to ST277. The synergistic effect in vitro with meropenem with colistin appeared to be a better therapeutic option.
血流感染(BSI)由耐碳青霉烯铜绿假单胞菌(CRPA)引起,在造血干细胞移植(HSCT)受者中死亡率很高。我们进行了 MIC、棋盘、时间杀伤试验、PFGE、PCR 和全基因组测序,并通过 Epi Info 描述了临床结果,比较了体外的抗菌组合。携带 lasB 毒力基因的 CRPA 引起的 BSI 死亡率更高。这些分离株对美罗培南的耐药率为 97%,与多粘菌素联合使用时显示协同作用,为 57%。73%的分离株携带 bla 和 Tn4371,属于 ST277。体外美罗培南与多粘菌素联合使用的协同作用似乎是一种更好的治疗选择。
