Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the capability of four tests for identification of the in vitro suscepti-bility of tigecycline against Acinetobacter and Enterobacteriaceae isolates.Methods Disk diffusion test was per-formed to detect the sensitivity of 158 Acinetobacter and 339 Enterobacteriaceae isolates to tigecycline.The mini-mum inhibitory concentrations ( MICs) of tigecycline for non-sensitive isolates were detected by using broth dilu-tion method ( BDM) , MIC Test Strip ( MTS) and agar dilution method.The differences with antimicrobial sus-ceptibility among the four different methods were evaluated.Results Tigecycline showed good antibacterial ac-tivity against both non-sensitive Acinetobacter and Enterobacteriaceae isolates with most of the MIC50 values in the sensitivity range of (0.5-2) mg/L and all of the MIC90 values of 4 mg/L.The MIC50 and MIC90 values measured by BDM were respectively 1 mg/L and 4 mg/L.The sensitivity rates presented by the results of BDM were re-spectively 87.1%and 70.2%based on the standards made by Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and Euro-pean Committee on Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing ( EUCAST) .Agar dilution method indicated that most of the MICs of tigecycline to Acinetobacter and Enterobacteriaceae isolates were two dilutions higher than those de-tected by BDM with essential agreement (EA) rate of 56.5%.Both the very major error (VME) and the major error (ME) values were 0 and the categorical agreement (CA) rate was 46.8%according to the FDA standard.The VME and CA values were 0.8% and 24.2% based on EUCAST standard.Compared with agar dilution method, MTS showed better results in determining the susceptibility of Acinetobacter and Enterobacteriaceae iso-lates to tigecycline with MIC50 and MIC90 values of 1.5 mg/L and 4 mg/L, which was similar to the capability of BDM.Referring to the FDA and EUCAST standards, the sensitivity rates were 83.1% and 21.0%, the CA rates was 81.5%and 29.8%, and the EA rate was 71.8%.Most of the results tested by MTS were one dilution higher than those by BDM.FDA standard showed better correlation than EUCAST standard.Disk diffusion method showed the ME, mE, VME and CA values were respectively 19.4%, 71.8%, 0 and 8.9%according to FDA standard.Conclusion Disk diffusion method, MTS and agar dilution method all showed differences with BDM in susceptibility testing.The capability of MTS was similar to that of BDM.The results evaluated by FDA standard were better than those by EUCAST standard.The in vitro susceptibility of bacteria to tigecycline could be tested by disk diffusion method using FDA standard for evaluation, and confirmed with MTS if isolates were resistance or intermediate strains.The BDM could be performed for further confirmation if necessary.
