Surveillance of the susceptibility of clinical isolates of various bacterial species to antibacterial agents Shimaru Sasaki, Kaoru Nagano, Yoshiji Kimura, Yutaka Jinushi, Hiroshi Nagata, Kouichi Uotani and Isao Higashiyama Kanzakigawa Laboratories, Shionogi Research Laboratories, Shionogi and Co., Ltd., 3-1-1 Futaba-cho, Toyanaka, Osaka 561, Japan We used agar-dilution MIC determinations to asses the activity of 39 antibacterial agents against various clinical isolates (16 species, 1,386 strains), most of which were isolated in 1992 at 18 facilities in Japan. We found that 58.1% of the strains of Staphylococcus aureus were methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) Vancomycin (VCM) and arbekacin (ABK) proved to have the highest antibacterial activity against these MRSA with an MIC90 of 0.78 and 1.56 ƒêg/ ml, respectively. Most of the fl-lactam antibiotics displayed high antibacterial activity against Streptococcus pneumoniae, especially cefuzonam (CZON), cefpirome (CPR) and the carbapenems, whose MICH was less than 0.39ƒÊg/ml. The incidence of penicillin-resistant S. pneumoniae was 37.0%. The agents which showed the highest antibacterial activity against Enterococcus faecalis were ampicillin (ABPC), imipenem (IPM) and VCM (MICK) 3.13,ig/ml). Most cephems, carbapenems and quinolones exhibited high antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae with an MIC90 of less than 3.13ƒÊg/ml. Most cephems, carbapenems and quinolones also showed high antibacterial activity against Haemophilus influenzae, with that of ciprofloxacin (CPFX) being especially high with MICK, of 0.013 pg/ml. ABPC-resistant H. influenzae accounted for 10.0% of the H. influenzae strains. Carbapenems displayed the highest antibacterial activity against Pseudomonas aeruginosa (MIC90 6.25 ƒêg/ml). Ceftazidime (CAZ) -resistant P. aeruginosa strains and IPM-resistant P. aeruginosa strains accounted for 29.1% and 8.7% of their groups, respectively, while quinolone-resistant strains represented 16.5-33.0%. Suitable antibiotics for detecting MRSA by agar-dilution MIC determination were oxacillin (MPIPC) and flomoxef (FMOX). meca-positive strains accounted for 73.4% of Staphylococcus epidermidis strains and the presence of the meca gene coincided with MPIPC susceptibility.
