To investigate the pharmacodynamic target attainment of ceftazidime-avibactam (CZA) in combination with amikacin against OXA-producing extensively drug-resistant/ pan-drug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa (XDR/PDR-PA). The minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of CZA and amikacin against OXA-producing XDR/PDR-PA were determined by the checkerboard method, and the combined inhibitory index (FICI) was calculated to evaluate whether the combination of the two antimicrobials has a synergistic effect on OXA-producing XDR/PDR-PA in vitro. The pharmacokinetic (PK) and pharmacodynamic (PD) parameters of CZA and amikacin were combined by Monte Carlo simulation (MCS) to evaluate the cumulative fraction of response (CFR) of the two antimicrobials for the treatment of OXA-producing XDR/PDR-PA infection.

Purpose: Human health is seriously threatened by carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales (CRE) due to the lack of effective treatment. The purpose of this study is to examine the efficacy of mefloquine (MEF) together with multiple drugs against 96 clinical CRE isolates including 94 Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase (KPC)-producers or Metallo-β-lactamases (MBLs)-producers and 2 colistin antibiotic resistance enzyme MCR-1-producers.
Methods: Using the broth microdilution method, MICs of MEF in combination with multiple antimicrobial agents, including colistin (COL), imipenem, aztreonam-avibactam (ATM-AVI), ceftazidime-avibactam (CAZ-AVI) for 96 CRE isolates were determined.

This study evaluated the activity of cefiderocol and the combination of ceftazidime/avibactam (CZA) plus aztreonam against carbapenemase-producing extensively drug-resistant (XDR) Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates. Nine clinical XDR P. aeruginosa isolates with different sequence types and class A (GES) or B (VIM, IMP or NDM) carbapenemases were analysed.

The proliferation of multidrug-resistant, metallo-beta-lactamase-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae (MBL-producing K. pneumoniae) poses a major threat to public health resulting in increasing treatment costs, prolonged hospitalization, and mortality rate. Treating such bacteria presents substantial hurdles for clinicians.

Purpose: Carbapenem-resistant (CRKP) producing carbapenemases poses a global threat to public health. Antimicrobial agent combinations have been promoted as a potential therapeutic strategy for infections. The most effective antimicrobial combinations against CRKP strains producing different carbapenemases are currently unclear, particularly those producing the KPC variant carbapenemases.
