“…However, the percentage of tigecycline-intermediate phenotype strains may predict a shift towards the tigecycline resistance phenotype. The results of percentage resistance in our study were significantly lower than those reported by several authors around the world concerning tigecycline (32,11). Overexpression of the AcrAB efflux pump is the most important mechanism for the resistance of K. pneumoniae strains to tigecycline (41).…”

“…7 , 16 , 17 In contrast, K. pneumoniae has demonstrated reduction of colistin susceptibility rates. 18 Although resistance to colistin among Acinetobacter spp. in our Institution turned out to be not as high as compared to K. pneumoniae , it still represents a serious problem in our hospital, since carbapenem resistance among this species is elevated, and colistin is the only available antibiotic for treating these infections.…”

“…8 A associação de resistência ao ciprofloxacino em isolados de K. pneumoniae é comum, estando entre 25% na Etiópia 7 , 69% na China 8 , e no Brasil um estudo vem demonstrando elevação da prevalência de resistência ao longo da última década com observação de valores próximos a 53% após 10 anos. 4 Entretanto, nos dados encontrados ao longo dos dois anos do nosso estudo não foi observada uma elevação significativa na prevalência da resistência de 18% no ano de 2014 para 44% no …”
