OBJECTIVES: Multidrug-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae carrying blaNDM-1 and blaKPC-2 genes are a worldwide concern for which combination antimicrobial therapy may be the only viable option. The aim of this study was to investigate the in vitro activity of combinations of polymyxin B (PMB) with meropenem (MEM), amikacin (AMK) and gentamicin (GEN) at subinhibitory concentrations against two K. pneumoniae clinical isolates co-harbouring blaNDM-1, blaKPC-2 and aminoglycoside-modifying enzymes and resistant to PMB.
METHODS: Synergy and bactericidal activity were evaluated by chequerboard and time-kill assays against two PMB-resistantK. pneumoniae clinical isolates carrying the blaNDM-1, blaKPC-2, aac(3)-IIa, aac(6')-Ib, aph(3')-VI and ant(2'')-Ia genes. Five combinations of PMB, MEM, AMK and GEN were evaluated.
RESULTS: The PMB/MEM and PMB/AMK combinations proved to be the best options against isolate K7R2, mainly because they demonstrated bactericidal activity when using subinhibitory concentrations of these antimicrobials. However, none of the studied combinations was bactericidal against isolate K11R2.
CONCLUSION: The combinations used in this study showed synergy against NDM-and KPC-producing isolates but, given their bactericidal activity, the combinations of PMB/MEM and PMB/AMK were the most active against one isolate. It can also be concluded that the antimicrobials to which the bacteria were resistant could form part of combination therapy.
