Abstract excerpt
Step-wise resistance to cefepime, ceftazidime, cefotaxime, and cefpirome were determined for 16 Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains by daily transfer for 7 days to fresh media containing two-fold serial dilution of antibiotic. By the third transfer 4 of 16 strains (25%) were resistant (MIC > or = 32 mg/L) to ceftazidime compared with none, five (31%) and ten (60%) strains becoming resistant to cefepime, cefpirome and...
