Impact of transferable β-lactamases and intrinsic AmpC amino acid substitutions on the activity of cefiderocol against wild-type and iron uptake-deficient mutants of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. J Antimicrob Chemother 2024:dkae326. [PMID: 39287983 DOI: 10.1093/jac/dkae326] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/23/2024] [Accepted: 08/21/2024] [Indexed: 09/19/2024] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVES We aimed to analyse the interplay between impaired iron uptake and β-lactamases on cefiderocol resistance in Pseudomonas aeruginosa. METHODS Thirty-one transferable β-lactamases and 16 intrinsic P. aeruginosa AmpC (PDC) variants were cloned and expressed in wild-type (PAO1) and iron uptake-deficient (PAO ΔpiuC) P. aeruginosa backgrounds. MICs of cefiderocol and antipseudomonal β-lactams were determined by reference broth microdilution. RESULTS Relative to PAO1, deletion of piuC caused a specific 16-fold decrease in cefiderocol activity but negligible effects on the activity of other β-lactams. Among transferable β-lactamases, SHV-12, KPC Ω-loop mutants, NDMs and OXA-15 showed cefiderocol MIC values above the clinical breakpoint (2 mg/L) when expressed in PAO1. When expressed in PAO ΔpiuC, these and the transformants harbouring PER-1, VEB-1, KPC-2, KPC-3, VIM-1, CMY-2, OXA-2 and OXA-14 showed increased MIC values from 16 to >256 mg/L. The PDC variants carrying the Ω-loop changes ΔP215-G222 (PDC-577), E219K (PDC-221 and PDC-558) and the H10 helix change L293P (PDC-219) had the greatest impact on cefiderocol resistance, with MICs of 2-4 mg/L in PAO1 and of up to 32-64 mg/L in PAO ΔpiuC. Widespread enzymes such as GES, CTX-M-9, CTX-M-15, VIM-2-like enzymes, IMPs, DHA-1, FOX-4, OXA-10, OXA-48 and the other PDC variants tested had weaker effects on cefiderocol resistance. CONCLUSION We add evidence about the effect of the interplay between iron uptake and β-lactamases on the acquisition of cefiderocol resistance in P. aeruginosa. These findings may help to anticipate the emergence of resistance and optimize the use of cefiderocol against P. aeruginosa infections.

Abstract
Nosocomial pneumonia, including hospital-acquired pneumonia and ventilator-associated pneumonia, is the leading cause of death related to hospital-acquired infections among critically ill patients. A growing proportion of these cases are attributed to multi-drug-resistant (MDR-) Gram-negative bacteria (GNB). MDR-GNB pneumonia often leads to delayed appropriate treatment, prolonged hospital stays, and increased morbidity and mortality. This issue is compounded by the increased toxicity profiles of the conventional antibiotics required to treat MDR-GNB infections. In recent years, several novel antibiotics have been licensed for the treatment of GNB nosocomial pneumonia. These novel antibiotics are promising therapeutic options for treatment of nosocomial pneumonia by MDR pathogens with certain mechanisms of resistance. Still, antibiotic resistance remains an evolving global crisis, and resistance to novel antibiotics has started emerging, making their judicious use crucial to prolong their shelf-life. This article presents an up-to-date review of these novel antibiotics and their current role in the antimicrobial armamentarium. We critically present data for the pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics, the in vitro spectrum of antimicrobial activity and resistance, and in vivo data for their clinical and microbiological efficacy in trials. Where possible, available data are summarized specifically in patients with nosocomial pneumonia, as this cohort may exhibit 'critical illness' physiology that affects drug efficacy.

Am J Infect Control 2024; 52:774-784. [PMID: 38428591 DOI: 10.1016/j.ajic.2024.02.016] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/16/2023] [Revised: 02/23/2024] [Accepted: 02/23/2024] [Indexed: 03/03/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Novel β-lactams have in vitro activity against Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA), but their clinical performances and the selection criteria for practical use are still not clear. We aimed to evaluate the efficacy of novel β-lactams for PA infection in various sites and to compare the efficacy of each agent. METHODS We searched PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science for randomized controlled trials that used novel β-lactams to treat PA infection. The primary outcomes were clinical cure and favorable microbiological response. Subgroup analyses were performed based on drug type, drug resistance of pathogens, and site of infection. Network meta-analysis was carried out within a Bayesian framework. RESULTS In all studies combined (16 randomized controlled trials), novel β-lactams indicated comparable performance to other treatment regimens in both outcome measures (relative risk = 1.04; 95% confidence interval 0.94-1.15; P = .43) (relative risk = 0.97; 95% confidence interval 0.81-1.17; P = .76). Subgroup analyses showed that the efficacy of ceftolozane-tazobactam (TOL-TAZ), ceftazidime-avibactam (CAZ-AVI), imipenem-cilastatin-relebactam, and cefiderocol had no apparent differences compared to control groups among different infection sites, drug types and drug resistance of PA. In network meta-analysis, the results showed no statistically significant differences between TOL-TAZ, CAZ-AVI, and cefiderocol. CONCLUSIONS TOL-TAZ, CAZ-AVI, imipenem-cilastatin-relebactam, and cefiderocol are not inferior to other agents in the treatment of PA infection. Their efficacy is also comparable between TOL-TAZ, CAZ-AVI, and cefiderocol.

Novel Siderophore Cephalosporin and Combinations of Cephalosporins with β-Lactamase Inhibitors as an Advancement in Treatment of Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia. Antibiotics (Basel) 2024; 13:445. [PMID: 38786173 PMCID: PMC11117516 DOI: 10.3390/antibiotics13050445] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/25/2024] [Revised: 05/10/2024] [Accepted: 05/12/2024] [Indexed: 05/25/2024] Open
Abstract
In an era of increasing antibiotic resistance among pathogens, the treatment options for infectious diseases are diminishing. One of the clinical groups especially vulnerable to this threat are patients who are hospitalized in intensive care units due to ventilator-associated pneumonia caused by multidrug-resistant/extensively drug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria. In order to prevent the exhaustion of therapeutic options for this life-threatening condition, there is an urgent need for new pharmaceuticals. Novel β-lactam antibiotics, including combinations of cephalosporins with β-lactamase inhibitors, are proposed as a solution to this escalating problem. The unique mechanism of action, distinctive to this new group of siderophore cephalosporins, can overcome multidrug resistance, which is raising high expectations. In this review, we present the summarized results of clinical trials, in vitro studies, and case studies on the therapeutic efficacy of cefoperazone-sulbactam, ceftolozane-tazobactam, ceftazidime-avibactam, and cefiderocol in the treatment of ventilator-associated pneumonia. We demonstrate that treatment strategies based on siderophore cephalosporins and combinations of β-lactams with β-lactamases inhibitors show comparable or higher clinical efficacy than those used with classic pharmaceuticals, like carbapenems, colistin, or tigecycline, and are often associated with a lower risk of adverse events.

Abstract
Bacterial resistance surveillance is one of the main outputs of microbiological laboratories and its results are important part of antimicrobial stewardship (AMS). In this study, the susceptibility of specific bacteria to selected antimicrobial agents was tested. The susceptibility of 90 unique isolates of pathogens of critical priority obtained from clinically valid samples of ICU patients in 2017-2021 was tested. 50% of these fulfilled difficult-to-treat resistance (DTR) criteria and 50% were susceptible to all antibiotics included in the definition. 10 Enterobacterales strains met DTR criteria, and 2 (20%) were resistant to colistin (COL), 2 (20%) to cefiderocol (FCR), 7 (70%) to imipenem/cilastatin/relebactam (I/R), 3 (30%) to ceftazidime/avibactam (CAT) and 5 (50%) to fosfomycin (FOS). For Enterobacterales we also tested aztreonam/avibactam (AZA) for which there are no breakpoints yet. The highest MIC of AZA observed was 1 mg/l, MIC range in the susceptible cohort was 0.032-0.064 mg/l and in the DTR cohort (incl. class B beta-lactamase producers) it was 0.064-1 mg/l. Two (13.3%) isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa (15 DTR strains) were resistant to COL, 1 (6.7%) to FCR, 13 (86.7%) to I/R, 5 (33.3%) to CAT, and 5 (33.3%) to ceftolozane/tazobactam. All isolates of Acinetobacter baumannii with DTR were susceptible to COL and FCR, and at the same time resistant to I/R and ampicillin/sulbactam. New antimicrobial agents are not 100% effective against DTR. Therefore, it is necessary to perform susceptibility testing of these antibiotics, use the data for surveillance (including local surveillance) and conform to AMS standards.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Resistant bacterial infections, particularly those caused by gram-negative pathogens, are associated with high mortality and economic burdens. Ceftolozane/tazobactam demonstrated efficacy comparable to meropenem in patients with ventilated hospital-acquired bacterial pneumonia in the ASPECT-NP study. One cost-effectiveness analysis in the United States revealed that ceftolozane/tazobactam was cost effective, but no Japanese studies have been conducted. Therefore, the objective of this study was to assess the cost-effectiveness of ceftolozane/tazobactam compared to meropenem for patients with ventilated hospital-acquired bacterial pneumonia/ventilator-associated bacterial pneumonia from a health care payer perspective. METHODS A hybrid decision-tree Markov decision-analytic model with a 5-year time horizon were developed to estimate costs and quality-adjusted life-years and to calculate the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio associated with ceftolozane/tazobactam and meropenem in the treatment of patients with ventilated hospital-acquired bacterial pneumonia/ventilator-associated bacterial pneumonia. Clinical outcomes were based on the ASPECT-NP study, costs were based on the national fee schedule of 2022, and utilities were based on published data. One-way sensitivity analysis and probabilistic sensitivity analysis were also conducted to assess the robustness of our modeled estimates. RESULTS According to our base-case analysis, compared with meropenem, ceftolozane/tazobactam increased the total costs by 424,731.22 yen (£2,626.96) and increased the quality-adjusted life-years by 0.17, resulting in an incremental cost-effectiveness ratio of 2,548,738 yen (£15,763.94) per quality-adjusted life-year gained for ceftolozane/tazobactam compared with meropenem. One-way sensitivity analysis showed that although the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio remained below 5,000,000 yen (£30,925) for most of the parameters, the incremental net monetary benefit may have been less than 0 depending on the treatment efficacy outcome, especially the cure rate and mortality rate for MEPM and mortality rate for CTZ/TAZ. 53.4% of the PSA simulations demonstrated that CTZ/TAZ was more cost-effective than MEPM was. CONCLUSION Although incremental cost-effectiveness ratio was below ¥5,000,000 in base-case analysis, whether ceftolozane/tazobactam is a cost-effective alternative to meropenem for ventilated hospital-acquired bacterial pneumonia/ventilator-associated bacterial pneumonia in Japan remains uncertain. Future research should examine the unobserved heterogeneity across patient subgroups and decision-making settings, to characterise decision uncertainty and its consequences so as to assess whether additional research is required.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Infections caused by Stenotrophomonas maltophilia are clinically important due to its intrinsic resistance to a broad range of antibiotics. Therefore, selecting the most appropriate antibiotic to treat S. maltophilia infection is a major challenge. AIM The current meta-analysis aimed to investigate the global prevalence of antibiotic resistance among S. maltophilia isolates to the develop more effective therapeutic strategies. METHOD A systematic literature search was performed using the appropriate search syntax after searching Pubmed, Embase, Web of Science and Scopus databases (May 2023). Statistical analysis was performed using Pooled and the random effects model in R and the metafor package. A total of 11,438 articles were retrieved. After a thorough evaluation, 289 studies were finally eligible for inclusion in this systematic review and meta-analysis. RESULT Present analysis indicated that the highest incidences of resistance were associated with doripenem (97%), cefoxitin (96%), imipenem and cefuroxime (95%), ampicillin (94%), ceftriaxone (92%), aztreonam (91%) and meropenem (90%) which resistance to Carbapenems is intrinsic. The lowest resistance rates were documented for minocycline (3%), cefiderocol (4%). The global resistance rate to TMP-SMX remained constant in two periods before and after 2010 (14.4% vs. 14.6%). A significant increase in resistance to tigecycline and ceftolozane/tazobactam was observed before and after 2010. CONCLUSIONS Minocycline and cefiderocol can be considered the preferred treatment options due to low resistance rates, although regional differences in resistance rates to other antibiotics should be considered. The low global prevalence of resistance to TMP-SMX as a first-line treatment for S. maltophilia suggests that it remains an effective treatment option.

Abstract
AIMS Although cefiderocol (FDC) is not prescribed in China, FDC-resistant pandrug-resistant hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae (PDR-hvKp) is emerging. In this study, we performed FDC susceptibility testing of clinical Kp isolates to explore the prevalence of FDC-resistant isolates and the mechanism of FDC-resistance. METHODS We retrospectively selected 151 carbapenem-resistant Kp isolates to assess FDC susceptibility. Seven isolates harboring blaSHV-12 from two patients were enrolled for whole-genome sequencing. The antimicrobial resistance, virulence, blaSHV-12 expression, and fitness costs in different media were examined. The amplification of blaSHV-12 was further investigated by qPCR and long-read sequencing. RESULTS The 151 isolates showed a low MIC50/MIC90 (1/4 mg/L) of FDC. The seven isolates were ST11 PDR-hvKp, and two represented FDC-resistance (MIC=32 mg/L). The IncR/IncFII plasmids of two FDC-resistant isolates harbored 6 and 15 copies of blaSHV-12, whereas four FDC-susceptible isolates carried one copy and one harbored three copies. These blaSHV-12 genes concatenated together and were located within the same 7.3 kb fragment flanked by IS26, which contributed to the increased expression and FDC resistance without fitness costs. The amplification of blaSHV-12 and FDC resistance could be induced by FDC in vitro and reversed during continuous passage. CONCLUSIONS The amplification of blaSHV-12 and the consequent dynamic within-host heteroresistance are important concerns for the rational application of antibiotics. Long-read sequencing might be a superior way to detect resistance gene amplification rapidly and accurately.

[PMID: 37666449 DOI: 10.1016/j.cmi.2023.08.029] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/29/2023] [Revised: 08/14/2023] [Accepted: 08/30/2023] [Indexed: 09/06/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Cefiderocol is a last resort option for carbapenem-resistant (CR) Gram-negative bacteria, especially metallo-β-lactamase-producing Pseudomonas aeruginosa and CR Acinetobacter baumannii. Monitoring global levels of cefiderocol non-susceptibility (CFDC-NS) is important. OBJECTIVES To systematically collate and examine studies investigating in vitro CFDC-NS and estimate the global prevalence of CFDC-NS against major Gram-negative pathogens. DATA SOURCES PubMed and Scopus, up to May 2023. STUDY ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA Eligible were studies reporting CFDC-NS in Enterobacterales, P. aeruginosa, A. baumannii, or Stenotrophomonas maltophilia clinical isolates. RISK-OF-BIAS ASSESSMENT Two independent reviewers extracted study data and assessed the risk of bias on the population, setting, and measurement (susceptibility testing) domains. DATA SYNTHESIS Binomial-Normal mixed-effects models were applied to estimate CFDC-NS prevalence by species, coresistance phenotype, and breakpoint definition (EUCAST, CLSI, and FDA). Sources of heterogeneity were investigated by subgroup and meta-regression analyses. RESULTS In all, 78 studies reporting 82 035 clinical isolates were analysed (87% published between 2020 and 2023). CFDC-NS prevalence (EUCAST breakpoints) was low overall but varied by species (S. maltophilia 0.4% [95% CI 0.2-0.7%], Enterobacterales 3.0% [95% CI 1.5-6.0%], P. aeruginosa 1.4% [95% CI 0.5-4.0%]) and was highest for A. baumannii (8.8%, 95% CI 4.9-15.2%). CFDC-NS was much higher in CR Enterobacterales (12.4%, 95% CI 7.3-20.0%) and CR A. baumannii (13.2%, 95% CI 7.8-21.5%), but relatively low for CR P. aeruginosa (3.5%, 95% CI 1.6-7.8%). CFDC-NS was exceedingly high in New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase-producing Enterobacterales (38.8%, 95% CI 22.6-58.0%), New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase-producing A. baumannii (44.7%, 95% CI 34.5-55.4%), and ceftazidime/avibactam-resistant Enterobacterales (36.6%, 95% CI 22.7-53.1%). CFDC-NS varied considerably with breakpoint definition, predominantly among CR bacteria. Additional sources of heterogeneity were single-centre investigations and geographical regions. CONCLUSIONS CFDC-NS prevalence is low overall, but alarmingly high for specific CR phenotypes circulating in some institutions or regions. Continuous surveillance and updating of global CFDC-NS estimates are imperative while cefiderocol is increasingly introduced into clinical practice. The need to harmonize EUCAST and CLSI breakpoints was evident.

Abstract
Antibacterial drug resistance of gram-negative bacteria (GNB) results in high morbidity and mortality of GNB infection, seriously threaten human health globally. Developing new antibiotics has become the critical need for dealing with drug-resistant bacterial infections. Cefiderocol is an iron carrier cephalosporin that achieves drug accumulation through a unique "Trojan horse" strategy into the bacterial periplasm. It shows high antibacterial activity against multidrug-resistant (MDR) Enterobacteriaceae and MDR non-fermentative bacteria. The application of cefiderocol offers new hope for treating clinical drug-resistant bacterial infections. However, limited clinical data and uncertainties about its resistance mechanisms constrain the choice of its therapeutic use. This review aimed to summarize the clinical applications, drug resistance mechanisms, and co-administration of cefiderocol.

In vitro activity of cefiderocol, a siderophore cephalosporin, against carbapenem-resistant hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae in China. Antimicrob Agents Chemother 2023; 67:e0073523. [PMID: 38014944 PMCID: PMC10720542 DOI: 10.1128/aac.00735-23] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/03/2023] [Accepted: 10/03/2023] [Indexed: 11/29/2023] Open
Abstract
Cefiderocol is a siderophore cephalosporin that binds ferric iron and utilizes iron transporters to cross the cell membrane. Hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae (hvKp) is known to produce more siderophores; in this case, the uptake of cefiderocol may be decreased. Therefore, the objective of this study was to evaluate the in vitro activity of cefiderocol against hvKp isolates. A total of 320 carbapenem-resistant K. pneumoniae (CRKp) isolates were collected in China between 2014 and 2022, including 171 carbapenem-resistant hvKp (CR-hvKp) and 149 carbapenem-resistant classical K. pneumoniae (CR-cKp). Quantitative detection of siderophores showed that the average siderophore production of CR-hvKp (234.6 mg/L) was significantly higher than that of CR-cKp (68.9 mg/L, P < 0.001). The overall cefiderocol resistance rate of CR-hvKp and CR-cKp was 5.8% (10/171) and 2.7% (4/149), respectively. The non-susceptible rates of both cefiderocol and siderophore production of CR-hvKp isolates were higher than those of CR-cKp in either NDM-1- or KPC-2-producing groups. The MIC90 and MIC50 for CR-hvKp and CR-cKp were 8 mg/L and 2 mg/L and 4 mg/L and 1 mg/L, respectively. The cumulative cefiderocol MIC distribution for CR-hvKp was significantly lower than that of CR-cKp isolates (P = 0.003). KL64 and KL47 consisted of 53.9% (83/154) and 75.7% (53/70) of the ST11 CR-hvKp and CR-cKp, respectively, and the former had significantly higher siderophore production. In summary, cefiderocol might be less effective against CR-hvKp compared with CR-cKp isolates, highlighting the need for caution regarding the prevalence of cefiderocol-resistant K. pneumoniae strains, particularly in CR-hvKp isolates.

Abstract
Background The objective of this study was to expand real-life data on cefiderocol efficacy to treat multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii infections. Methods This was a retrospective monocentric study including patients hospitalized (>24 hours) at Policlinico Tor Vergata, Rome, Italy, between May 1, 2021, and September 1, 2022, treated with cefiderocol (>48 hours). The primary objective was early clinical improvement at 48-72 hours from cefiderocol start; secondary objectives were clinical success (composite outcome of infection resolution and 14-day survival), breakthrough infection, overall 30-day mortality, and cefiderocol-related adverse events. Results Eleven patients were enrolled; 91% males (10/11), with a median age (interquartile range [IQR]) of 69 (59-71) years, 91% had ≥1 comorbidity, and 72.7% (8/11) were hospitalized in internal medicine wards. Six patients with bloodstream infection (54.5%; 4 primary, 2 central line-associated), 2 with pneumonia (18.2%), 2 with urinary tract infections (18.2%), and 1 with intra-abdominal infection (9.1%) were treated. Four patients (36.3%) presented with septic shock at cefiderocol start. Cefiderocol was used as monotherapy in 3/11 patients (27.3%), was combined with colistin in all the other 8 cases, and was used in triple combination with tigecycline in 2 patients. The median duration of treatment (IQR) was 12 (10-14) days. Early clinical improvement was documented in 8/11 patients (72.7%), clinical success in 8/11 patients (72.7%). Overall 30-day mortality was 27.3% (3/11), with death occurring a median (IQR) of 19 (17.5-20.5) days after the start of therapy. No cefiderocol-related adverse events were documented. Conclusions Cefiderocol seems to be a safe and effective option for multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii infections.

Abstract
Cefiderocol is a siderophore-conjugated cephalosporin with potent activity against multidrug-resistant Gram-negative pathogens including Acinetobacter baumannii. The aim of this study was to evaluate cefiderocol testing methods on a relevant collection of 97 Acinetobacter spp. isolates. Commercialized broth microdilution methods (ComASP®, Liofilchem and UMIC®, Bruker), MIC test strips (Liofilchem) and disc diffusion using discs of three different brands (Mast Diagnostic, Liofilchem and Oxoid-Thermo Fisher Scientific) were compared with the broth microdilution reference method. None of the methods tested fulfilled acceptable criteria (essential agreement [EA] ≥ 90%; bias = ±30%) but both BMD methods achieved acceptable categorical agreement rates (CA = 95.9% [93/97, 95% CI 89.9-98.4] and CA = 93.8% [91/97, 95% CI 87.2-97.1] for ComASP® and UMIC®, respectively) and bias < 30% (-7.2% and -25.2% for ComASP® and UMIC®, respectively). The use of MIC gradient testing is strongly discouraged due to misclassification of 55% (n = 23/42) of resistant strains. Finally, the disc diffusion method could be used to rapidly screen for susceptible strains by setting a critical diameter of 22 mm.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Healthcare-associated infections involving Gram-negative bacteria (GNB) with difficult-to-treat resistance (DTR) phenotype are associated with impaired patient-centered outcomes and poses daily therapeutic challenges in most of intensive care units worldwide. Over the recent years, four innovative β-lactam/β-lactamase inhibitor (BL/BLI) combinations (ceftolozane-tazobactam, ceftazidime-avibactam, imipenem-relebactam and meropenem-vaborbactam) and a new siderophore cephalosporin (cefiderocol) have been approved for the treatment of certain DTR-GNB infections. The literature addressing their microbiological spectrum, pharmacokinetics, clinical efficacy and safety was exhaustively audited by our group to support the recent guidelines of the French Intensive Care Society on their utilization in critically ill patients. This narrative review summarizes the available evidence and unanswered questions on these issues. METHODS A systematic search for English-language publications in PUBMED and the Cochrane Library database from inception to November 15, 2022. RESULTS These drugs have demonstrated relevant clinical success rates and a reduced renal risk in most of severe infections for whom polymyxin- and/or aminoglycoside-based regimen were historically used as last-resort strategies-namely, ceftazidime-avibactam for infections due to Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase (KPC)- or OXA-48-like-producing Enterobacterales, meropenem-vaborbactam for KPC-producing Enterobacterales, ceftazidime-avibactam/aztreonam combination or cefiderocol for metallo-β-lactamase (MBL)-producing Enterobacterales, and ceftolozane-tazobactam, ceftazidime-avibactam and imipenem-relebactam for non-MBL-producing DTR Pseudomonas aeruginosa. However, limited clinical evidence exists in critically ill patients. Extended-infusion scheme (except for imipenem-relebactam) may be indicated for DTR-GNB with high minimal inhibitory concentrations and/or in case of augmented renal clearance. The potential benefit of combining these agents with other antimicrobials remains under-investigated, notably for the most severe presentations. Other important knowledge gaps include pharmacokinetic information in particular situations (e.g., pneumonia, other deep-seated infections, and renal replacement therapy), the hazard of treatment-emergent resistance and possible preventive measures, the safety of high-dose regimen, the potential usefulness of rapid molecular diagnostic tools to rationalize their empirical utilization, and optimal treatment durations. Comparative clinical, ecological, and medico-economic data are needed for infections in whom two or more of these agents exhibit in vitro activity against the causative pathogen. CONCLUSIONS New BL/BLI combinations and cefiderocol represent long-awaited options for improving the management of DTR-GNB infections. Several research axes must be explored to better define the positioning and appropriate administration scheme of these drugs in critically ill patients.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION New beta-lactams, associated or not with beta-lactamase inhibitors (NBs/BIs), can respond to the spread of carbapenemase-producing enterobacteriales and nonfermenting carbapenem-resistant bacteria. The risk of emergence of resistance to these NBs/BIs makes guidelines necessary. The SRLF organized a consensus conference in December 2022. METHODS An ad hoc committee without any conflict of interest (CoI) with the subject identified the molecules (ceftolozane-tazobactam, ceftazidime-avibactam, imipenem-cilastatin-relebactam, meropenem-vaborbactam and cefiderocol); defined 6 generic questions; drew up a list of subquestions according to the population, intervention, comparison and outcomes (PICO) model; and reviewed the literature using predefined keywords. The quality of the data was assessed using the GRADE methodology. Seven experts in the field proposed their own answers to the questions in a public session and answered questions from the jury (a panel of 10 critical-care physicians without any CoI) and the public. The jury then met alone for 48 h to write its recommendations. Due to the frequent lack of powerful studies that have used clinically important criteria of judgment, the recommendations were formulated as expert opinions as often as necessary. RESULTS The jury provided 17 statements answering 6 questions: (1) Is there a place in the ICU for the probabilistic use of new NBs/IBs active against Gram-negative bacteria? (2) In the context of documented infections with sensitivity to several of these molecules, are there pharmacokinetic, pharmacodynamic, ecological or medico-economic elements for prioritization? (3) What are the possible combinations with these molecules and in what context? (4) Should we integrate these new molecules into a carbapenem-sparing strategy? (5) What pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic data are available to optimize their mode of administration in critically ill patients? (6) What are the dosage adaptations in cases of renal insufficiency, hepatocellular insufficiency or obesity? CONCLUSION These recommendations should optimize the use of NBs/BIs in ICU patients.

Antibiotics (Basel) 2023; 12:1048. [PMID: 37370367 DOI: 10.3390/antibiotics12061048] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 10.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/24/2023] [Revised: 06/11/2023] [Accepted: 06/12/2023] [Indexed: 06/29/2023] Open
Abstract
Evidence-based, standard antibiotic therapy for ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) caused by carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAB) is a relevant unmet clinical need in the intensive care unit (ICU). We aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of first-line therapy with old and novel CRAB active antibiotics in monomicrobial VAP caused by CRAB. A prospective, observational study was performed in a mixed non-COVID-19 ICU. The primary outcome measure was clinical failure upon first-line targeted therapy. Features independently influencing failure occurrence were also investigated via Cox proportional multivariable analysis. To account for the imbalance in antibiotic treatment allocation, a propensity score analysis with an inverse probability treatment weighting approach was adopted. Of the 90 enrolled patients, 34 (38%) experienced clinical failure. Compared to patients who experienced a clinical resolution of VAP, those who had clinical failure were of an older age (median age 71 (IQR 64-78) vs. 62 (IQR 52-69) years), and showed greater burden of comorbidities (median Charlson comorbidity index 8 (IQR 6-8) vs. 4 (IQR 2-6)), higher frequency of immunodepression (44% vs. 21%), and greater clinical severity at VAP onset (median SOFA score 10 (IQR 9-11) vs. 9 (IQR 7-11)). Lower rates of use of fast molecular diagnostics for nosocomial pneumonia (8.8% vs. 30.3%) and of timely CRAB active therapy administration (65% vs. 89%), and higher rates of colistin-based targeted therapy (71% vs. 46%) were also observed in patients who failed first-line therapy. Overall, CRAB active iv regimens were colistin-based in 50 patients and cefiderocol-based in 40 patients, both always combined with inhaled colistin. According to the backbone agent of first-line regimens, clinical failure was lower in the cefiderocol group, compared to that in the colistin group (25% vs. 48%, respectively). In multivariable Cox regression analysis, the burden of comorbid conditions independently predicted clinical failure occurrence (Charlson index aHR = 1.21, 95% CI = 1.04-1.42, p = 0.01), while timely targeted antibiotic treatment (aHR = 0.40, 95% CI = 0.19-0.84, p = 0.01) and cefiderocol-based first-line regimens (aHR = 0.38, 95% CI = 0.17-0.85, p = 0.02) strongly reduced failure risk. In patients with VAP caused by CRAB, timely active therapy improves infection outcomes and cefiderocol holds promise as a first-line therapeutic option.

Abstract
Introduction Cefiderocol (CFDC), a novel semi-synthetic siderophore cephalosporin has been developed to combat the menace of infections caused by carbapenem-resistant Gram-negative bacilli (CR-GNB) including Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales (CRE) and Carbapenem-resistant Nonfermenting Gram-negative bacilli (CR-NFGNB). Methods We determined the in vitro activity of CFDC against a contemporary collection of 503 CR-GNB isolates by the reference broth microdilution method (BMD) using Iron depleted cation adjusted Mueller-Hinton broth (ID-CAMHB). Performance of CFDC disk diffusion (DD) was evaluated against the reference BMD, as an alternative convenient testing method. Molecular characterization of carbapenemase in CR-GNB was performed by PCR targeting bla NDM-1, bla OXA-48like alleles, bla KPC, bla IMP, and, bla VIM. Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) distribution of CFDC in CR-GNB harbouring different carbapenemase enzymes was also analyzed. Results In our study, 81.7% (411/503) of CR-GNB isolates [81.3%, (278/342) CRE and 82.6% (133/161) CR-NFGNB] were susceptible to CFDC (p>0.05). Categorical agreement (CA) of DD ranged from 79.8% to 87.5%, Minor error (mE) ranged from 0 to 14%, Major error (ME) ranged from 0 to 3.5%, and Very Major error (VME) ranged from 0 to 12.5% with variations by species tested. Overall CFDC MIC50 and MIC90 values of CR-GNB isolates without any carbapenemase genes were higher as compared to those with the presence of carbapenemase genes (4 µg/mL and 128 µg/mL versus 2 µg/mL and 16 µg/mL respectively). Discussion CFDC is not yet available for clinical use in India. Hence, multicentric studies are the need of the hour in India for standardization of CFDC susceptibility using disks and CAMHB from different manufacturers as well as understanding mechanisms of high MIC values.

Abstract
The indiscriminate and massive antibiotic use in the clinical practice and in agriculture or cattle during the past few decades has produced a serious world health problem that entails high morbidity and mortality: the antibiotic multi-drug resistance. In 2017 and 2019, the World Health Organization published a list of urgent threats and priorities in the context of drug resistance, which only included Gram-negative bacteria and specially focused on carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, as well as carbapenem and third generation cephalosporin-resistant Enterobacteriaceae. This scenario emphasizes the need of developing and testing new antibiotics from different families, such as new beta-lactams, highlighting cefiderocol and its original mechanism of action; new beta-lactamase inhibitors, with vaborbactam or relebactam among others; new quinolones such as delafloxacin, and also omadacycline or eravacycline, as members of the tetracycline family. The present work reviews the importance and impact of Gram-negative bacterial infections and their resistance mechanisms, and analyzes the current therapeutic paradigm as well as the role of new antibiotics with a promising future in the era of multi and pan-drug resistance.

Abstract
Cefiderocol is a new antimicrobial with a chemical structure similar to ceftazidime and cefepime. In this review we will focus on the role of cefiderocol in different clinical scenarios produced by resistant Gram-negative microorganisms, especially to carbapenems. In infections caused by Gram-negative microorganisms, inappropriate antibiotic treatment increased the risk of mortality almost fourfold. In patients with hospital-acquired infection and septic shock; with sepsis and poor functional reserve due to fragility; in immunocompromised patients; and in those with local ecology, individual history of colonization or previous infection and risk factors for carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) such as the presence of chronic multi-morbidities, the best option would be to start an active empirical treatment against gram-negative bacteria resistant to carbapenems and later in 24-36 h with the information obtained from the cultures we could decide on a definitive empirical or directed treatment and avoid unnecessary overuse of these antibiotics. Cefiderocol would be in these cases a good candidate due to its excellent in vitro activity against all classes of beta-lactamase-producing Gram-negatives (including carbapenemase class A, B and D producers), as well as against non-fermenting Gram-negatives such as P. aeruginosa, Acinetobacter spp. and S. maltophilia. It is necessary to optimize the use of new antibiotics such as cefiderocol, guaranteeing the best available treatment to patients while delaying the emergence and spread of resistance.

Cefiderocol: Systematic Review of Mechanisms of Resistance, Heteroresistance and In Vivo Emergence of Resistance. Antibiotics (Basel) 2022; 11:antibiotics11060723.

Abstract
Cefiderocol appears promising, as it can overcome most β-lactam resistance mechanisms (including β-lactamases, porin mutations, and efflux pumps). Resistance is uncommon according to large multinational cohorts, including against isolates resistant to carbapenems, ceftazidime/avibactam, ceftolozane/tazobactam, and colistin. However, alarming proportions of resistance have been reported in some recent cohorts (up to 50%). A systematic review was conducted in PubMed and Scopus from inception to May 2022 to review mechanisms of resistance, prevalence of heteroresistance, and in vivo emergence of resistance to cefiderocol during treatment. A variety of mechanisms, typically acting in concert, have been reported to confer resistance to cefiderocol: β-lactamases (especially NDM, KPC and AmpC variants conferring resistance to ceftazidime/avibactam, OXA-427, and PER- and SHV-type ESBLs), porin mutations, and mutations affecting siderophore receptors, efflux pumps, and target (PBP-3) modifications. Coexpression of multiple β-lactamases, often in combination with permeability defects, appears to be the main mechanism of resistance. Heteroresistance is highly prevalent (especially in A. baumannii), but its clinical impact is unclear, considering that in vivo emergence of resistance appears to be low in clinical studies. Nevertheless, cases of in vivo emerging cefiderocol resistance are increasingly being reported. Continued surveillance of cefiderocol’s activity is important as this agent is introduced in clinical practice.

Abstract
Cefiderocol is a novel synthetic siderophore-conjugated antibiotic that hijacks the bacterial iron transport systems facilitating drug entry into cells, achieving high periplasmic concentrations. This systematic review analyzed the currently available literature on cefiderocol. It summarized in vitro susceptibility data, in vivo antimicrobial activity, pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics (PK/PD), clinical efficacy, safety and resistance mechanisms of cefiderocol. Cefiderocol has potent in vitro and in vivo activity against multidrug-resistant (MDR) Gram-negative bacteria, including carbapenem-resistant isolates. But New Delhi Metallo-β-lactamase (NDM)- positive isolates showed significantly higher MICs than other carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales, with a susceptible rate of 83.4% for cefiderocol. Cefiderocol is well-tolerated, and the PK/PD target values can be achieved using a standard dose regimen or adjusted doses according to renal function. Clinical trials demonstrated that cefiderocol was non-inferiority to the comparator drugs in treating complicated urinary tract infection and nosocomial pneumonia. Case reports and series showed that cefiderocol was a promising therapeutic agent in carbapenem-resistant infections. However, resistant isolates and reduced susceptibility during treatment to cefiderocol have already been reported. In conclusion, cefiderocol is a promising powerful weapon for treating MDR recalcitrant infections.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION : In the past 15 years, treatment of VAP caused by carbapenem-resistant Gram-negative bacteria (CR-GNB) has represented an intricate challenge for clinicians. AREAS COVERED In this perspective article, we discuss the available clinical data about novel agents for the treatment of CR-GNB VAP, together with general PK/PD principles for the treatment of VAP, in the attempt to provide some suggestions for optimizing antimicrobial therapy of CR-GNB VAP in the daily clinical practice. EXPERT OPINION Recently, novel BL and BL/BLI combinations have become available that have shown potent in vitro activity against CR-GNB and have attracted much interest as novel, less toxic, and possibly more efficacious options for the treatment of CR-GNB VAP compared with previous standard of care. Besides randomized controlled trials, a good solution to enrich our knowledge on how to use these novel agents at best in the near future, while at the same time remaining adherent to current evidence-based guidelines, is to improve our collaboration to conduct larger multinational observational studies to collect sufficiently large populations treated in real life with those novel agents for which guidelines currently do not provide a recommendation (in favor or against) for certain causative organisms.

Abstract
The worldwide propagation of antimicrobial resistance represents one of the biggest threats to global health and development. Multi-drug-resistant organisms (MDROs), including carbapenem-resistant non-fermenting Gram-negatives and Enterobacterales, present a heterogeneous and mutating spread. Infections by MDRO are often associated with an unfavorable outcome, especially among critically ill populations. The polymyxins represented the backbone of antibiotic regimens for Gram-negative MDROs in recent decades, but their use presents multiple pitfalls. Luckily, new agents with potent activity against MDROs have become available in recent times and more are yet to come. Now, we have the duty to make the best use of these new therapeutic tools in order not to prematurely compromise their effectiveness and at the same time improve patients’ outcomes. We reviewed the current literature on ceftazidime/avibactam, meropenem/vaborbactam and cefiderocol, focusing on antimicrobial spectrum, on the prevalence and mechanisms of resistance development and on the main in vitro and clinical experiences available so far. Subsequently, we performed a step-by-step construction of a speculative algorithm for a reasoned prescription of these new antibiotics, contemplating both empirical and targeted use. Attention was specifically posed on patients with life-risk conditions and in settings with elevated prevalence of MDRO.
