Selection of colistin-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii isolates in postneurosurgical meningitis in an intensive care unit with high presence of heteroresistance to colistin
Diagnostic Microbiology and Infectious Disease, 09/15/09

Hernan RC et al. – The authors observed the selection intratreatment with colistin of Ab colistin–resistant strains from a colistin–heteroresistant isolate in one patient with postneurosurgical meningitis. Genomoespecie was determined by amplified ribosomal DNA restriction analysis, and genetic similarity among the strains was determined by pulsed–field electrophoresis. Colistin heteroresistance was observed in 46, 4% of these isolates. The majority belonged to clones previously identified as I and III.
