Abstract
Meropenem-ciprofloxacin combination therapy was compared to the respective monotherapy in a Hollow-Fiber Infection Model against two Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates. Following initial kill of ; 5-logs by each monotherapy, rapid regrowth occurred within 24 h, reaching 108 - 1010 CFU/mL at 120 h. In contrast, combination therapy achieved . 5-log kill within 6 h and suppressed bacterial regrowth throughout. The results suggest that meropenem-ciprofloxacin combination may provide significantly enhanced bacterial killing and resistance suppression against P. aeruginosa.
