Overview

Cross-sectional analysis reveals low carbapenem resistance but significant colistin susceptibility in Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates.

Key Points

  • Carbapenem resistance was observed in 17% of Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates from clinical samples.
  • Among carbapenem-resistant strains, 47% were metallo β-lactamase producers, with blaNDM as the most prevalent gene.
  • The study utilized methods like the Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion for antimicrobial susceptibility testing.
  • All carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains were found to be susceptible to colistin, indicating potential treatment options.
