Popis: Susceptibility of ceftazidime-avibactam and in vitro synergy with meropenem were investigated using disk approximation and time-kill assays against 11 multiresistant Acinetobacter baumannii isolates harboring oxacillinases and 5 Serratia marcescens isolates carrying bla(KPC-2). Ceftazidime-avibactam was very active and synergistic with meropenem against multiresistant S. marcescens isolates. On the other hand, only the A. baumannii isolates coharboring bla(OXA-23) and bla(OXA-117) displayed synergy. The disk approximation technique presented good sensitivity for synergism in S. marcescens infection.
