Enhancement and Comparison of (Ceftazidime-)Avibactam Plus Aztreonam Susceptibility Tests for Stenotrophomonas maltophilia in Clinical Diagnostics.


ABSTRACT: Stenotrophomonas maltophilia is naturally resistant to many antimicrobials. We evaluated the in vitro activity and reproducibility of two different super-position methods of aztreonam in combination with ceftazidime-avibactam for S. maltophilia and compared these results with the recently available aztreonam-avibactam gradient strip. We recommend an improved super-position method that avoids the possible risk of handling a contaminated aztreonam strip. In addition, we report that the cefazidime-avibactam and aztreonam super-position method showed increased in vitro activity in comparison with aztreonam-avibactam indicating activity of the ceftazidime component in vitro.
