摘要
This article examines the activity of meropenem and imipenem against Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates from the Meropenem Yearly Susceptibility Test Information Collection program between 1997 and 2005. In particular, it examines the activity of meropenem against imipenem-resistant strains and vice versa. Meropenem proved to be active against up to a 3rd of imipenem-resistant strains.
