Ceftazidime-avibactam and cefiderocol represent two of the few alternatives for infections by KPC-producing Enterobacterales. We reported the emergence of resistance to both ceftazidime-avibactam and cefiderocol in a KPC-producing ST131- (KPC-ST131-) clinical isolate. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing, Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, whole-genome sequencing, and cloning experiments were performed.

Recently, new combinations of β-lactams and β-lactamase inhibitors became available, including ceftazidime-avibactam, and increased the ability to treat infections caused by carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales (CRE). Despite the reduced time of clinical use, isolates expressing resistance to ceftazidime-avibactam have been reported, even during treatment or in patients with no previous contact with this drug. Here, we detailed review data on global ceftazidime-avibactam susceptibility, the mechanisms involved in resistance, and the molecular epidemiology of resistant isolates.

From January 2019 to April 2020, 32 KPC-producing, ceftazidime-avibactam (CZA)-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae strains were isolated in a university hospital in Rome, Italy. These strains belonged to the sequence type 512 (ST512), ST101, and ST307 high-risk clones. Nine different CZA-resistant KPC-3 protein variants were identified, five of them never previously reported (KPC-66 to KPC-70).

Objectives: Ceftazidime-avibactam (CZA) and cefiderocol are recently commercialized molecules active against highly drug-resistant bacteria, including carbapenem-resistant members of the Enterobacteriaceae. Mutants resistant to CZA have been described, notably in Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase (KPC) producers. Considering the structural similarities between ceftazidime and cefiderocol, we hypothesized that resistance to CZA in KPC-producing members of the Enterobacterales may lead to cross-resistance to cefiderocol.
