Synergistic Effect of Ceftazidime-Avibactam with Meropenem against Panresistant, Carbapenemase-Harboring Acinetobacter baumannii and Serratia marcescens Investigated Using Time-Kill and Disk Approximation Assays
Keyword(s):
ABSTRACT Susceptibility of ceftazidime-avibactam and in vitro synergy with meropenem were investigated using disk approximation and time-kill assays against 11 multiresistant Acinetobacter baumannii isolates harboring oxacillinases and 5 Serratia marcescens isolates carrying blaKPC-2. Ceftazidime-avibactam was very active and synergistic with meropenem against multiresistant S. marcescens isolates. On the other hand, only the A. baumannii isolates coharboring blaOXA-23 and blaOXA-117 displayed synergy. The disk approximation technique presented good sensitivity for synergism in S. marcescens infection.
