Η συνεργική δράση της πιβμεσιλλινάμης με το κλαβουλανικό οξύ έναντι στελεχών ουροπαθογόνων της κοινότητας με παραγωγή ESBL λακταμασών και η θέση της στη θεραπεία των ουρολοιμώξεων της κοινότητας

Abstract

Background. Extended-spectrum b-lactamases (ESBLs) have emerged as an important mechanism of blactam resistance among community uropathogens. We characterized the ESBLs of a collection of Escherichia coli isolates recovered from outpatients with urinary tract infection during nationwide surveillance conducted from 2005 to 2006 in Greece, and evaluated the in vitro activity of mecillinam and mecillinam/clavulanate against them. Materials and methods. ESBLs were characterized with PCR and sequencing. In vitro interactions were evaluated with agar dilution with and without clavulanate (4 mg/L) using an inoculum of 104 or 106 cfu/spot as well as with time–kill methodology.Results. Among 48 ESBL producers, 47 (97.9%) were susceptible to mecillinam. CTX-M-type enzymes were produced by 87.2%, with CTX-M-3 being the most prevalent. SHV enzymes were found in 10.6%, VEB enzymes in 2.1%, TEM enzymes in 19.2% and OXA-type enzymes in 12.8%. Synergy with clavulanate was detected in 60.4% using the a ...
