Mutant Prevention Concentrations of Doripenem and Meropenem Alone and in Combination with Colistin (Polymyxin E), Levofloxacin and Tobramycin in Pseudomonas aeruginosa by George G Zhanel, Vibhu Vishisht, Ed Tam, Daryl J Hoban, James A Karlowsky

“…BACKGROUND: With a limited number of available antimicrobial agents to treat Pseudomonas aeruginosa infections, the prevention of emergence of antimicrobial resistance and its subsequent spread is critical. In the present study, the mutant prevention concentration (MPC) of doripenem was examined and compared with meropenem for its ability to prevent resistant mutant selection for P aeruginosa when used alone and in combination with the other antipseudomonal agents colistin (polymyxin E), levofloxacin and tobramycin. …”
