ABSTRACT
Objective To measure the in vitro antibacterial activity of tigecycline against carbapenems-resistant Acinetobacter calcoacetcus-Acinetobacter baumannii complex.Methods The isolated strains of carbapenems-resistant Acinetobacter calcoacetcus-Acinetobacter baumannii complex were collected in our hospital from December 2013 to February 2014.The MIC test strip was a-dopted to measure the MIC value of tigecycline.The break point adopted the judgment criteria published by FDA.Results All 61 strains of carbapenems-resistant Acinetobacter calcoacetcus-Acinetobacter baumannii complex had extremely high drug resistant rate to the commonly used antimicrobial agents.The sensitive rate of tigecycline was 80.3%,intermediation was 19.7% and no re-sistant strain was found in this study.MIC50 and MIC90 were 2 μg/mL and 3 μg/mL respectively.Conclusion Tigecycline has bet-ter in vitro antibacterial activity to the carbapenems-resistant Acinetobacter calcoacetcus-Acinetobacter baumannii complex isolated in our hospital.
