Clinical isolates of Pseudomonas pseudomallei isolated in Thailand from 1981 to 1989 were tested for their in vitro susceptibilities to 27 antimicrobial agents, including older and newer quinolones, broad-spectrum cephems, carbapenems, monobactams, penicillins, tetracyclines, chloramphenicol, rifamycin, sulfamethoxazole, trimethoprim, and fosfomycin. Tosufloxacin, meropenem, CS-533, and minocycline were active against P. pseudomallei at levels comparable to or even greater than those of antimicrobial agents tested in previous studies, such as ciprofloxacin, ceftazidime, imipenem, carumonam, and piperacillin. Drug-resistant P. pseudomallei was found in only 1% of the isolates. The drug-resistant P. pseudomallei isolates displayed a unique pattern of susceptibility to the above-listed drugs.
