Abstract:

Objective

To evaluate the capabilities of disc diffusion and Vitek-2 Compact methods for testing antimicrobial susceptibility of Burkholderia cepacia.

Methods

Total of 34 isolates of Burkholderia cepacia were collected from January 2017 to December 2017 in Shaoxing People’s Hospital, the vitro minimum inhibition concentration (MIC) values of ceftazidime, compound sulfamethoxazole, levofloxacin, piperacillin/tazobactam, tetracycline, meropenem, chloramphenicol, minocycline and cefperidone/sulbactam were detected by disc diffusion method, Vitek-2 Compact method and broth microdilution method, respectively. Categorical agreement (CA) rates of disc diffusion and Vitek-2 Compact methods were determined, taking broth microdilution method as the reference method.

Results

The 95% confidence intervals (95%CI) of ceftazidime, compound sulfamethoxazole, levofloxacin, meropenem and chloramphenicol were 6.2-13.2, 0.5-0.8, 3.8-6.3, 3.7-7.3 and 5.0-10.0, respectively, detected by broth microdilution method. The CA values of disc diffusion for ceftazidime, compound sulfamethoxazole, tigocycline, chloramphenicol and minocycline antibiotics were all > 90%, compared with broth microdilution method, Disc diffusion method and Vitek-2 Compact method were taken to detect the sensitivity of piperacillin/tazobactam in vitro, and the rate of agreement with reference method was the lowest, all < 80%. The major error (ME) of Vitek-2 Compact for detection of Tegafycline was 50%. Taken the broth microdilution method as the standard, the best antimicrobial agent in vitro was compound sulfamethoxazole and minocycline (all 100%), and the most sensitive antibacterials were levofloxacin (38.2%).

Conclusions

The drug sensitivity of Burkholderia cepacia detected by disk diffusion method and Vitek-2 Compact instrument method both had good reliability to ceftazidime and compound sulfamethoxazole. Ateention should be paid to the possible occurrence of very major error (VME) and ME, when antimicrobial susceptibility of piperacillin/tazobactam and cefoperazone/sulbactam were detected by disk diffusion method.
