 -Lactam and aminoglycoside resistance rates and mechanisms among Pseudomonas aeruginosa in French general practice (community and private healthcare centres)

Abstract: Antibiotic resistance rates in P. aeruginosa were globally similar in general practice as in French hospitals. This first analysis of resistance mechanisms showed an unexpectedly high frequency of ESBLs and an unusual distribution of aminoglycoside modifying enzymes.

“…According to Forest Laboratories, studies of ceftaroline in combination with NXL104 are currently in progress (1). For P. aeruginosa isolates, against which ceftaroline has limited activity, high levels of resistance to ceftaroline and other ␤-lactam drugs may be due to (i) a decreased affinity for the PBPs, (ii) a failure to achieve inhibitory concentrations due to impermeability or efflux (via the MexXY efflux pump, for example), and/or (iii) enzymatic hydrolysis resistant to ␤-lactamase inhibitors (4,8,10). Studies of the mechanisms of resistance responsible for the reduced activity of ceftaroline against P. aeruginosa isolates are still warranted.…”
