A Prospective, Observational and Comparative Study of In-Vitro Susceptibility of Isepamicin against Clinical Isolates from Various Clinical Sources (Triple I Study - Isepamicin in India)
Abstract
Objectives: This study aims to investigate the in-vitro susceptibility of clinical isolates against Isepamicin and compared it with Gentamicin and Amikacin.
Patients and Methods: In this multicentre prospective study, clinical specimens of patients were collected from three different regions of India. Clinical isolates from urine, intra-abdominal, broncho-alveolar lavage, endotracheal secretion, and sterile blood were included. The E-test was used to quantify the minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) for Isepamicin, Gentamicin, and Amikacin. The percentages of bacterial isolates were categorized as susceptible, intermediate, and resistant according to the European Committee on Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing (EUCAST) guidelines as per Comité de l'Antibiogramme de la Société Française de Microbiologie (CA-SFM) recommendation.
Results: A total of 8 different bacterial isolates were collected from 150 clinical samples obtained from 50 patients. Respiratory (63 [42%]) and urine (44 [29.3%]) specimens were the most common sources for bacterial strains. The most identified bacterial isolates were K. pneumoniae (40 [26.6%]) and P. aeruginosa (38 [25%]). Isepamicin was found to be highly effective in urine samples and showed excellent sensitivity against E. coli (93.3%), followed by P. aeruginosa (57.9%) and K. pneumoniae (55.0%). Antimicrobial sensitivity was highest for Isepamicin (60/108 [56%]) at MIC≤1 mg/L and was most effective against Gram-negative bacterial isolates from the intensive care units (ICUs).
Conclusions: Isepamicin could treat E. coli infections and could be an effective therapy in the treatment of urinary tract infections (UTIs). Moreover, it could also be used as an alternative to Gentamicin and Amikacin against resistant cases.
Keywords: Aminoglycosides, Amikacin, E. coli, Gentamicin, Gram-negative bacteria, Isepamicin.
