Abstract
The main gram-negative cystic fibrosis bacterial pathogens include Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Achromobacter spp., Burkholderia cepacia complex and Stenotrophomonas maltophilia. In this project, the results of antibiotic susceptibility testing of the main gram-negative cystic fibrosis bacterial pathogens recovered from cystic fibrosis patients in Russia are presented.
Bacterial isolates
In January – February 2020, respiratory tract samples from 170 cystic fibrosis patients (5% of all cystic fibrosis patients in Russia) from 42 regions were analyzed. The detected main gram-negative cystic fibrosis bacterial pathogens (P. aeruginosa, Achromobacter spp., Burkholderia cepacia complex and S. maltophilia) were studied.
Antibiotic susceptibility testing
Minimum inhibitory concentrations of antibacterial agents were determined using broth microdilution method. The results were interpreted according to Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI, 2020) criteria.
