Use of surrogate antimicrobial agents to predict susceptibility to ertapenem.

Abstract:

:Broth or agar dilution susceptibility test results for Enterobacteriaceae (11,775 strains), anaerobes (2888 strains), staphylococci (2206 strains), Haemophilus spp. (840 strains), group A streptococci (280 strains), group B streptococci (269 strains), Streptococcus pneumoniae (709 strains), and 160 other streptococci were analyzed to identify surrogate antimicrobial agents to predict susceptibility to ertapenem. Ertapenem MIC interpretive categories approved by the United States FDA were compared to those of imipenem, oxacillin (staphylococci), or penicillin (streptococci). Ertapenem resistance was rare (1.2%) among 8187 consecutively collected clinical isolates of Enterobacteriaceae, including a large proportion of isolates from intensive care units. Absolute categorical agreement between ertapenem and imipenem, and very major (false susceptible) and major errors (false resistant) using imipenem to predict ertapenem results were 97.2%, 0.9%, and 0.4%, respectively, for Enterobacteriaceae (10,992 strains tested against both drugs) and 99.0%, 0.2%, and 0% for anaerobes. All Haemophilus spp., groups A and B streptococci, penicillin-susceptible and -intermediate S. pneumoniae, and other penicillin-susceptible streptococci were susceptible to ertapenem. All oxacillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus were ertapenem susceptible, except 1 that was intermediate. Surrogate antimicrobial agents that can be used to reliably predict ertapenem susceptibility by MIC tests are imipenem for Enterobacteriaceae and anaerobes, oxacillin for staphylococci, and penicillin for streptococci.

  • Relevance of autoantibody detection to the rapid diagnosis of brucellosis.

    abstract::The rose bengal test is often used for rapid diagnosis of human brucellosis in endemic areas. However, autoantibodies have never been investigated as a reason for false-positive or false-negative results. Therefore, the aim of this study was to show the effect of autoantibody detection on the rapid diagnosis of human ...
