Objectives: This study assessed susceptibility to polymyxin B (PMB) and alternative antimicrobials, with focus on aminoglycosides and tigecycline, according to different breakpoints in KPC-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae (KPC-Kp) bloodstream isolates from Brazilian hospitals.Methods: Bloodstream K. pneumoniae isolates non-susceptible to any of the three carbapenems (meropenem, imipenem or ertapenem) from four Brazilian tertiary-care hospitals were selected. Antimicrobial susceptibility was determined and interpreted according to distinct breakpoints. Twenty-nine PMB-resistant KPC-Kp isolates were selected for molecular typing.Results: A total of 158 KPC-Kp were analysed. MIC50/90 values for PMB were 0.25/16 mg/L; 40 isolates (25.3%) were resistant to PMB. MIC50/90 values for meropenem were 32/ >= 256 mg/L; no isolates were susceptible to meropenem according to CLSI, but 10 isolates were intermediate using EUCAST breakpoints (1, MIC = 4 mg/L; 9, MIC = 8 mg/L). MIC50/90 values for tigecycline were 2/8 mg/L; 53 (33.5%) and 94 (59.5%) isolates were susceptible according to EUCAST and FDA breakpoints, respectively. MIC50/90 values were 32/ >= 64 mg/L for amikacin and >= 16/ >= 16 mg/L for gentamicin; 48 (30.4%), 28 (17.7%) and 16 (10.1%) were susceptible to amikacin according to CLSI, EUCAST and USCAST, respectively, but susceptibility rates to gentamicin were
