Abstract:
OBJECTIVE To investigate in vitro antibacterial activity of meropenem in Gram-negative bacilli isolated from clinical specimens.METHODS Gram-negative bacilli were isolated from various clinical specimens in our hosptial from Jan 2008 to Dec 2008.The identification test was determined by VITEK-32 Full Automated Microbiology Analyzer,the antimicrobiol susceptibility was detected by K-B method.RESULTS The resistance rate of Enterobacteriaceae to meropenem was extremly low.The resistance rates of Escherichia coli,Klebsiella pneumoniae and Enterobacter cloacae to meropenem were 0,27.6% and 4.2%.The resistance rates of Stenotrophomonas maltophilia,Burkholderia cepacia,Chryseobacterium meningosepticum,Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Acinetobacter baumannii to meropenem were 100.00%,48.81%,94.12%,21.85% and 31.72% respectively.CONCLUSIONS Meropenem has high in vitro antimicrobial activity to Enterobacteriaceae.but generally low to non-fermentative Gram-negative bacilli.
