Objectives: Imipenem/cilastatin/relebactam (IMI/REL) is a β-lactam/β-lactamase inhibitor combination effective against gram-negative pathogens. Efficacy and safety of IMI/REL were studied in critically ill adults with hospital-acquired bacterial pneumonia (HABP) or ventilator-associated bacterial pneumonia (VABP).

Methods: In this phase III, double-blind, multinational, randomized trial (NCT03583333), adults with HABP/VABP were randomized 1:1 to receive intravenous IMI/REL (500 mg/250 mg) or piperacillin/tazobactam (PIP/TAZ; 4000 mg/500 mg) every 6 h for 7-14 days.

Purpose: To elucidate the characteristics of imipenem (IPM)/cilastatin (CS) as an embolic material in microvessels in vivo.

Materials And Methods: Three healthy rabbits were injected subcutaneously in 1 auricle with picibanil (OK-432) in advance to create an inflammation-induced neovascular model. Microangiography was performed using monochromatic X-rays obtained from a large synchrotron radiation facility (SuperPhoton ring-8 GeV, SPring-8).

Background: Novel beta-lactams show activity against many multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria that cause severe lung infections. Understanding pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic characteristics of these agents may help optimise outcomes in the treatment of pneumonia.

Objectives: To describe and appraise studies that report pulmonary pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic data of cefiderocol, ceftazidime/avibactam, ceftolozane/tazobactam, imipenem/cilastatin/relebactam and meropenem/vaborbactam.

Background: Imipenem/cilastatin (IPM/CS) has long been administered intravenously as a carbapenem antibiotic. However, since this agent is poorly soluble in liquid, occasional reports have described its use as a short-acting, temporary embolic agent. The purpose of this study was to elucidate the characteristics of IPM/CS particles, which are thought to have pain-relieving effects against osteoarthritis-related pain, as an embolic agent.

Rationale: Tsutsugamushi disease is a common infectious disease in the Northern Hemisphere. A patient infected with tsutsugamushi disease will show a characteristic clinical course with eschar formation, which is mostly small and self-limited in nature without causing major problems. We report a rare case of unusually extensive necrosis started from a small eschar.
