In the last few years Acinetobacter spp. are among the most common bacterial pathogens in the patients of our hospital intensive care unit. Carbapenems take an important role among the limited treatment options of infections caused by Acinetobacter species. The aim of this study was to determine the in vitro activities of doripenem, imipenem, and meropenem against clinical Acinetobacter baumannii isolates. Between 01 January-31 December 2009, a total of 94 Acinetobacter spp. strains from Intensive Care Units to Akdeniz University Microbiology laboratory isolated from different clinical specimens were included in the study. Species are identified by conventional assays and BD Phoenix automated system (Becton Dickinson, USA) and susceptibility to imipenem, meropenem, doripenem was studied by E-test. Imipenem, meropenem, doripenem susceptibility of Acinetobacter baumannii isolates were found to be 22.3%, 17.0%, 12.8%, respectively. As a result of our study, doripenem MİK50/MİK90 values of Acinetobacter baumannii isolates are similar with of imipenem and meropenem.
