Combined effect of Polymyxin B and Tigecycline to overcome Heteroresistance in Carbapenem-Resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae
27 Oct 2021
Abstract excerpt
. Unfortunately, tigecycline resistance and colistin heteroresistance are also increasing rapidly. In the current study, we identified a high prevalence of heteroresistance to both PMB and TGC among clinical isolates of carbapenem-resistant K. pneumoniae (CRKP). The resistant subpopulations could survive pressure from TGC or PMB but were killed by the combination at a relatively low dose. It is proposed that the...
