In vitro evaluation of antibiotic synergy for NDM-1-producing Enterobacteriaceae.
OBJECTIVES To analyse the in vitro activity of colistin, fosfomycin and tigecycline alone or in combination against enterobacterial NDM-1 producers. METHODS MIC values of colistin, fosfomycin and tigecycline were determined for 28 NDM-1-producing enterobacterial isolates. In vitro synergy combination testing was performed for eight clinical isolates and one Escherichia coli transconjugant (si...
متن کاملAssessment of combination therapy in BALB/c mice injected with carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae strains
Monotherapeutic options for carbapenem resistant infections are limited. Studies suggest that combination therapy may be associated with better outcomes than monotherapies. However, this is still controversial. This study assessed, the efficacy of combination therapy against carbapenem resistant Enterobacteriaceae harboring singly various extended spectrum beta lactamase or carbapenemase encodi...
متن کاملHigh Prevalence of New Delhi Metallo-β-Lactamase-1 (NDM-1) Producers among Carbapenem-Resistant Enterobacteriaceae in Kuwait
The aim of the study was to determine the prevalence of New Delhi metallo-β lactamase-1 (NDM-1) producing Enterobacteriaceae in Kuwait over a one year period. Consecutive Enterobacteriaceae isolates with reduced susceptibility to carbapenems were collected from four government hospitals in Kuwait from January-December 2014. Their susceptibility to 18 antibiotics was performed by determining the...
متن کاملNew Delhi Metallo – beta lactamase – 1 containing Enterobacteriaceae: Origin, Diagnosis, Treatment and Public health concern
One of the biggest problems associated with the antibiotic therapy is resistance. Recently published studies have revealed that enterobacteriaceae, like E. coli and Klebsiella, isolated from several Indian centers are resistant to many antibiotics including some highly potent antibiotics like carbapenems. It has been proposed that this resistance is because of a carbapenemase enzyme called NDM-...
متن کاملOccurrence of blaNDM Variants Among Enterobacteriaceae From a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit in a Northern India Hospital
Carbapenem-resistance among enterobacteriaceae has become a global health concern. The objective of this study was to understand NDM producing enterobacteriaceae and their genetic basis of resistance, spreading in neonatal intensive care unit. Carbapenem resistant NDM producing enterobacteriaceae isolates were recovered from rectal swab and blood sample of infants admitted in NICU. These were d...
