Abstract

Colistin MIC of 247 Klebsiella pneumoniae strains isolated from the ICU, Bach Mai Hospital in 2019 -2021 were determined by the broth microdilution method. Strains that were not resistant to colistin (MIC ≤ 2 µg/ml) were selected and the persistence fraction with colistin after 5 and 24 hours of exposure to antibiotic were measured. The result showed that the rate of bacteria resistant to colistin was 29.1%. For strains not resistant to colistin, the persistence fraction after 5 hours and 24 hours of antibiotic exposure is extremely high, 23% and 19%, respectively, and did not increase as the MIC increased.
