Abstract
MICs and biofilm inhibitory concentrations (BICs) were measured for 68 cystic fibrosis (CF) Achromobacter isolates for amikacin, aztreonam, colistin, levofloxacin, and tobramycin. With the exception of colistin and levofloxacin, the remaining antibiotics had MIC90s, BICs at which 50% of the isolates were susceptible (BIC50s), and BICs at which 90% of the isolates were susceptible (BIC90s) equal to or above the highest concentrations tested. In a biofilm model, tobramycin was able to significantly increase killing of bacterial cells compared to controls, for intermediate-resistant strains only, at concentrations of 1,000 and 2,000 μg/ml.Entities:
