Activity of mecillinam against Escherichia coli resistant to third-generation cephalosporins

Objectives To assess the activity of mecillinam against two groups of Escherichia coli: (i) a selection of international isolates with mechanisms of resistance caused by the presence of defined β-lactamases; and (ii) isolates resistant to third-generation cephalosporins referred from across Wales.

description Objectives To assess the activity of mecillinam against two groups of Escherichia coli: (i) a selection of international isolates with mechanisms of resistance caused by the presence of defined β-lactamases; and (ii) isolates resistant to third-generation cephalosporins referred from across Wales. Methods Antibiotic susceptibility testing with mecillinam, meropenem, amoxicillin, co-amoxiclav, cefotaxime, piperacillin/tazobactam, ciprofloxacin, nitrofurantoin, trimethoprim and gentamicin was performed using the BSAC agar dilution method against 30 international strains of E. coli with known β-lactamase presence. Antibiotic susceptibility testing with mecillinam using the same method was performed against 325 regional isolates of E. coli resistant to third-generation cephalosporins. Results The susceptibility results showed that the only antibiotics to which the 30 international isolates were consistently susceptible were mecillinam (100%) and meropenem (100%), irrespective of the presence of β-lactamases. Of the local isolates, 93.5% (304/325) were susceptible to mecillinam, having MICs
