Evaluation of ceftazidime/avibactam alone and in combination with amikacin, colistin and tigecycline against Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase-producing K. pneumoniae by in vitro time-kill experiment.
Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase-producing K. pneumoniae (KPC-Kp) poses a major threat to human health worldwide. Combination therapies of antibiotics with different mechanisms have been recommended in literatures. This study assessed in vitro antibacterial activities and synergistic activities o...

Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase-producing K. pneumoniae (KPC-Kp) poses a major threat to human health worldwide. Combination therapies of antibiotics with different mechanisms have been recommended in literatures.

In total, 70 isolates from 2 hospitals in Beijing were examined in our study. By using the agar dilution method and broth dilution method, we determined the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of candidate antibiotics. Ceftazidime/avibactam demonstrated promising susceptibility against KPC-Kp (97.14%).
