Evaluation of double- and triple-antibiotic combinations for VIM- and NDM-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae by in vitro time-kill experiments.
Combination therapy is recommended for infections with carbapenemase-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae. However, limited data exist on which antibiotic combinations are the most effective. The aim of this study was to find effective antibiotic combinations against metallo-beta-lactamase-producing K. pneumoniae (MBL-KP). Two VIM- and two NDM-producing K. pneumoniae strains, all susceptible to coli...

متن کاملHigh-Level Resistance to Colistin Mediated by Various Mutations in the crrB Gene among Carbapenemase-Producing Klebsiella pneumoniae.
Mutations in crrAB genes encoding a two-component regulator involved in modifications of lipopolysaccharide were searched for among a collection of colistin-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates. Four isolates, respectively, producing carbapenemases NDM-1, OXA-181, or KPC-2 showed mutated CrrB proteins compared with those in wild-type strains. Complementation assays with a wild-type CrrB pro...

متن کاملThree Dimensional Checkerboard Synergy Analysis of Colistin, Meropenem, Tigecycline against Multidrug-Resistant Clinical Klebsiella pneumonia Isolates
The spread of carbapenem-non-susceptible Klebsiella pneumoniae strains bearing different resistance determinants is a rising problem worldwide. Especially infections with KPC (Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase) - producers are associated with high mortality rates due to limited treatment options. Recent clinical studies of KPC-blood stream infections revealed that colistin-based combination t...
