Abstract

Minimal inhibitory concentrations (MICs) against piperacillin/tazobactam were determined on a total of 50 clinical isolates of imipenem resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa (IRPA). MIC50 and MIC90 were 32microgram/mL and 512microgram/mL, respectively. The susceptibility of IRPA against piperacillin/tazobactam was 59%. Of the 50 IRPA strains, only two were PCR positive for blaVIM and none for blaIMP.
