Abstract excerpt
Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1 showed increased phenotypic resistance to imipenem, panipenem, and biapenem specifically in the presence of salicylate. The antipseudomonal activity of carbapenems was reduced in proportion to the concentration of salicylate. This resistance was transient and nonheritable. The synthesis of the outer membrane protein D2 (OprD or OprD2) in P. aeruginosa PAO1 was inhibited by 4 to 32 mM...
