Abstract

PURPOSE: Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in Pseudomonas aeruginosa has been ever-increasing. Among other reasons, colistin resistance might be attributed to limited routine testing by approved methods. Both broth microdilution (BMD) and colistin broth disc elution (CBDE) methods have been advocated, with limited data on the performance of these methods in the Indian settings. This prospective study was conducted to determine colistin resistance in P. aeruginosa, compare the BMD and CBDE methods with special reference to heteroresistance. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 100 isolates of P. aeruginosa from admitted patients were included. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing was done against standard antibiotics by disc diffusion test. Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) against polymyxins was studied by BMD and CBDE (for colistin only). Heteroresistance to colistin was studied by population analysis profile (PAP). CBDE and BMD were compared by performance calculations. Discrepancy in results were analyzed based on heteroresistance. RESULTS: Majority of the P. aeruginosa isolates were from pus samples (62, 62 ​%). Disc diffusion method revealed maximum susceptibility towards aztreonam (74, 74 ​%) followed by meropenem (68, 68 ​%) and piperacillin-tazobactam (65, 65 ​%). Polymyxin B resistance was seen in 6 ​% (6) while colistin resistance was seen in 9 ​% (9) isolates by BMD. CBDE revealed 8 ​% (8) resistance to colistin, having 97 ​% essential agreement and 95 ​% categorical agreement with BMD. Further, by PAP analysis, 9 isolates were resistant to colistin which included 9 resistant isolates by BMD. On discrepancy analysis, 1 isolate was found to be heteroresistant to colistin. No heteroresistance was seen in the isolates that were susceptible by all the methods. CONCLUSIONS: Heteroresistance to colistin in P. aeruginosa accounted for the discrepancy in results where CBDE method failed to detect heteroresistant isolate. As heteroresistance is a least studied phenotype, it's exact prevalence should be studied so that challenges in susceptibility testing could be addressed.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
