Abstract
The susceptibilities of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Haemophilus influenzae, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Enterobacter cloacae and Serratia marcescens to four types of carbapenems were examined using the broth micro-dilution method. All strains were isolated from various clinical samples obtained from patients of the Kawasaki Municipal Hospital between October 2001 and February 2002. An inoculum size of 105 cfu/mL was used.<BR>1. The MIC50S and MIC90S of the carbapenem antibiotics against 95 strains of P. aeruginosa were as follows: imipenem (IPM), 2μg/mL for MIC50 and 32μg/mL for MIC90; panipenem (PAPM), 8μg/mL and 32μg/mL, respectively; meropenem (MEPM), 1μg/mL and 8μg/mL, respectively; and biapenem (BIPM), 1μg/mL and 16μg/mL, respectively. The frequencies of strain resistance to IPM, PAPM, MEPM and BIPM (MIC≥16μg/mL) were 26.3%, 41.1%, 6.3% and 16.8%, respectively.<BR>2. The MIC50s and MIC90s of carbapenem antibiotics against 47 strains of H. influenzae were as follows: IPM, 1μg/mL for MIC50 and 4μg/mL for MIC90; PAPM, 1μg/mL and 4μg/mL, respectively; MEPM, 0.12μg/mL and 0.5μg/mL, respectively; and BIPM, 1μg/mL and 8μg/mL, respectively. The frequencies of strain resistance to IPM, PAPM and BIPM (MIC≥8μg/mL) were 2.1%, 6.4% and 10.6%, respectively. However, strain resistance to MEPM (MIC≥1μg/mL) was not observed.<BR>3. No carbapenem-resistant strains of K. pneumoniae, E. cloacae or S. marcescens were detected.<BR>4. We did not detect any strain of P. aeruginosa that could produce IMP-1 metallo β-lactamase. Although the number of carbapenem-resistant strains of P. aeruginosa did not increase significantly compared with past records, the continuous surveillance of resistance to carbapenem antibiotics in clinical isolates is important.
