The antibiotic resistance profiles of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in the Asia Cornea Society Infectious Keratitis Study.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To describe the prevalence and antibiotic resistance profiles of Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolated from the Asia Cornea Society Infectious Keratitis Study (ACSIKS).

Methods

All bacterial isolates from ACSIKS underwent repeat microbiological identification in a central repository in Singapore. Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) determination was conducted for isolates of P. aeruginosa against thirteen antibiotics from 6 different classes, and categorized based on Clinical Laboratory Standard Institutes' reference ranges. The percentage rates of resistance (non-susceptibility) to each antibiotic included isolates of both intermediate and complete resistance. Multi-drug resistance (MDR) was defined as non-susceptibility to at least one agent in three or more antimicro
