In Vitro Activities of 21 Antimicrobial Agents Alone and in Combination with Aminoglycosides or Fluoroquinolones against Extended-Spectrum-β-Lactamase-Producing Escherichia coli Isolates Causing Bacteremia

Abstract: cWe evaluated the in vitro activity of various antimicrobials alone and in combination against 291 extended-spectrum-␤-lactamase-producing Escherichia coli (ESBL-EC) isolates causing bacteremia in South Korean hospitals. Ceftazidime, cefepime, and piperacillin-tazobactam in combination with amikacin showed greater activity than found in combination with ciprofloxacin. In settings with a high prevalence of ESBL-producing pathogens, combination aminoglycoside antimicrobial therapy, especially with amikacin, may … Show more

“…[ 25 ] The proportion of multidrug resistance E coli varies due to the underlying diseases and regional differences (range 31–92%). [ 26 30 ] In our study, 85.6% stains isolated were MDR and 2.4% were XDR. Regarding ESBL-EC, nearly all (98.6%) were MDR.…”

“…Piperacillin‐tazobactam is a possible choice but covers only 80% of the Enterobacteriaceae and 94% of the E. coli . Adding in amikacin increases the coverage, but clinicians remain concerned about the risk of aminoglycoside nephrotoxicity. In one study, 5 of 20 carbapenem‐resistant K. pneumoniae bacteriuria cases were treated with an aminoglycoside‐containing regimen, and none of them developed nephrotoxicity vs 4 patients of 13 treated with non‐aminoglycoside‐containing regimens and developed nephrotoxicity.…”

“…The interpretation of this data is limited by the retrospective design of the study and only randomized trials could address a possible role of quinolones, also in severe infections. However, their use should be carefully evaluated considering the high rates of resistance reported, especially in area with an increased consumption of these antibiotics [36][37].…”
