Özet

Objectives: Achromobacter xylosoxidans is an emerging pathogen in cystic fibrosis (CF). Relatively little is known about its clinical impact and optimal management. In the present study, the in vitro bactericidal activities of meropenem, either alone or in combination with colistin, levofloxacin, or chloramphenicol, were assessed using A. xylosoxidans strains isolated from CF patients. The synergistic interactions of these combinations were also investigated.
