Emergence of imipenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa during treatment of intra-abdominal infection in a patient with ovarian carcinoma

E H Sze et al. J Natl Med Assoc. 1988 Oct.

Abstract

A 59-year-old woman was admitted to the hospital with ovarian carcinoma. After cytoreductive surgery, the patient developed intra-abdominal sepsis. After 17 days of intravenous imipenem, the patient's sputum culture grew imipenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa. On the 21st day of treatment with imipenem, her peritoneal culture also grew imipenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
