Background: Ceftolozane-tazobactam and ceftazidime-avibactam are preferred treatment options for multidrug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa infections; however, real-world comparative effectiveness studies are scarce. Pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic differences between the agents might affect clinical response rates. We aimed to compare the effectiveness of ceftolozane-tazobactam and ceftazidime-avibactam for treatment of invasive multidrug-resistant P aeruginosa infections.

Objectives: Taniborbactam is a boronate-based β-lactamase inhibitor in clinical development in combination with cefepime.
Methods: Cefepime-taniborbactam and comparator broth microdilution MICs were determined for patient isolates of Enterobacterales (n = 20 725) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (n = 7919) collected in 59 countries from 2018 to 2022. Taniborbactam was tested at a fixed concentration of 4 mg/L.

Gram-negatives harboring metallo-β-lactamases (MBLs) and extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs) pose a substantial risk to the public health landscape. In ongoing efforts to combat these "superbugs," we explored the clinical combination of aztreonam and ceftazidime/avibactam together with varying dosages of polymyxin B and imipenem against ( CDC Nevada) in a 9-day hollow fiber infection model (HFIM). As previously reported by our group, although the base of aztreonam and ceftazidime/avibactam alone leads to 3.

Background: Cefiderocol (FDC) or ceftazidime-avibactam with aztreonam (CZA-ATM) are frontline agents for New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase (NDM)-producing Enterobacterales; however, clinical data are scarce, and mechanisms of treatment-emergent resistance are ill-defined. Our objectives were to characterize serial isolates and stool microbiota from a liver transplant recipient with NDM-producing bacteraemia.
Methods: Isolates collected pre- and post-CZA-ATM treatment underwent broth microdilution susceptibility testing and whole-genome sequencing.

Taniborbactam, a bicyclic boronate β-lactamase inhibitor with activity against carbapenemase (KPC), Verona integron-encoded metallo-β-lactamase (VIM), New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase (NDM), extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBLs), OXA-48, and AmpC β-lactamases, is under clinical development in combination with cefepime. Susceptibility of 200 previously characterized carbapenem-resistant and 197 multidrug-resistant (MDR) to cefepime-taniborbactam and comparators was determined by broth microdilution. For (192 KPC; 7 OXA-48-related), MIC values of β-lactam components for cefepime-taniborbactam, ceftazidime-avibactam, and meropenem-vaborbactam were 2, 2, and 1 mg/L, respectively.
