In vitro evaluation of double-carbapenem combinations against OXA-48-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates using time-kill studies.

CONCLUSION: Dual combinations of carbapenems, including those containing sub-inhibitory concentrations of antibiotics, were synergistic against multidrug-resistant (MDR) and extensively drug-resistant (XDR) K. pneumoniae isolates harbouring blaOXA-48.
