The aim of this study was to evaluate the combined effects of antibiotic combinations by agar incorporation inhibitory tests and by time-kill tests on seven geographically and epidemiologically distinct isolates of multidrug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa. All seven strains were resistant to piperacillin, meropenem, ceftazidime, cefoperazone-sulbactam, aztreonam, amikacin and ciprofloxacin.
