Susceptibilities of Propionibacterium acnes ophthalmic isolates to ertapenem, meropenem, and cefepime.

چکیده
We investigated the in vitro susceptibilities of 23 Propionibacterium acnes ophthalmic isolates to ertapenem, meropenem, and cefepime by utilizing the Etest. The MICs ranged from 0.094 microg/ml to 0.75 microg/ml, 0.094 microg/ml to 1.5 microg/ml, and 1 microg/ml to 12 microg/ml for ertapenem, meropenem, and cefepime, respectively. Based on our excellent in vitro carbapenem susceptibility results, in vivo studies using ertapenem and meropenem in a rabbit model of P. acnes endophthalmitis are warranted.

Development of an algorithm for phenotypic screening of carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae in the routine laboratory
BACKGROUND Carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (CPE) are difficult to identify among carbapenem non-susceptible Enterobacteriaceae (NSE). We designed phenotypic strategies giving priority to high sensitivity for screening putative CPE before further testing. METHODS Presence of carbapenemase-encoding genes in ertapenem NSE (MIC > 0.5 mg/l) consecutively isolated in 80 French laboratori...

We examined the effect of the addition of ertapenem to our hospital formulary on the resistance of nosocomial Pseudomonas aeruginosa to group 2 carbapenems (imipenem, meropenem, and doripenem). This was a retrospective, observational study conducted between 1 January 2000 and 31 January 2009 at a large, tertiary-care hospital. Autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) regression models w...

BACKGROUND The rapid and accurate detection of carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (CPE) in clinical microbiology laboratories is essential for the treatment and control of infections caused by these microorganisms. This study was performed to evaluate the ability of the VITEK AST-N202 card to detect CPE isolates. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 43 (Klebsiella pneumoniae, n = 37; Esch...

PURPOSE The antimicrobial activity of doripenem in comparison of imipenem, meropenem and ertapenem among Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolated from burn and Cystic Fibrosis (CF) patients were determined. METHODS Metallo-β-lactamase (MBL) genes in imipenem non susceptible P. aeruginosa isolates were detected using PCR method. The in vitro susceptibilities of doripenem, imipenem, meropenem and ertape...
