68 blaKPC-possessing K pneumoniae including

23 tigecycline- andor colistin-nonsusceptible strains

By agar dilution 93 of the overall

KpKPC were susceptible (MIC5090 of 1664 gml respectively)

Notably 5 out of 6 extremely drug-resistant (tigecycline

and colistin nonsusceptible) KpKPC were susceptible

to fosfomycin Compared to agar dilution disk diffusion

was more accurate than Etest

Summary

bull Extraordinary challenge against cunning

pathogens

bull Basic understanding of molecular biology is

needed (the complexities of resistance

genes will only increase)

bull Research is needed in therapeutics and

infection control

bull CALL TO ARMS Coordinate scientific and

clinical trials to answer these important

questions
