The clinical effect of cefsulodin (CFS) on Pseudomonas species infections in otorhinolaryngologic field was studied in 10 patients. The overall clinical effectiveness was 80% (excellent 4, good 4, poor 2). The bacteriological response of CFS against Pseudomonas species was evaluated from 11 strains. Eradication rate of Pseudomonas species was 82%. In 1 case, body temperature was rised after injection. No abnormal laboratory findings, relating to the drug, were observed after treatment.

The rise in antimicrobial resistance poses a significant threat to global health, particularly among diabetic patients who are prone to urinary tract infections (UTIs). Pathogens that cause UTI among diabetic patients exhibit significant multidrug resistance (MDR) patterns, necessitating more precise empirical treatment strategies..

Unlabelled: is an opportunistic pathogen capable of causing severe infections in immunocompromised individuals, who often require prolonged antibiotic therapy. The emergence of carbapenemase-producing has further complicated the management of nosocomial infections, limiting therapeutic options. Cefiderocol has recently emerged as a promising antipseudomonal agent, using the bacterial iron transport system to gain entry into the cell; however, there have been reports of resistant to cefiderocol.

The universal bacterial second messenger bis-(3'-5')-cyclic dimeric guanosine monophosphate (c-di-GMP) plays critical roles in regulating a variety of bacterial functions such as biofilm formation and virulence. The metabolism of c-di-GMP is inversely controlled by diguanylate cyclases (DGCs) and phosphodiesterases (PDEs). Recently, increasing studies suggested that the protein-protein interactions between DGCs/PDEs and their partners appear to be a common way to achieve specific regulation.

The bacterium is able to invade lung epithelial cells and survive intracellularly. During this process, it secretes outer membrane vesicles (OMVs), however, it is currently unclear how OMVs from (PA-OMVs) affect lung epithelial cells and their impact on oxidative stress, autophagy, and other physiological activities of lung epithelial cells. In this study, we found that PA-OMVs activated oxidative stress and autophagy in cells.

Restoring ceftolozane susceptibility: a role for diazabicyclooctane β-lactamase inhibitors?

Antimicrob Agents Chemother

January 2025

Department of Medicine, Division of Infectious Diseases, University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA.

Paired baseline and post-exposure isolates from 34 patients who developed ceftolozane-tazobactam (TOL-TAZ) resistance following treatment of multidrug-resistant (MDR) infections were analyzed to determine if ceftolozane with an alternative β-lactamase inhibitor could restore susceptibility. The median baseline TOL-TAZ MIC was 2 mg/L; 88% of post-exposure isolates harbored new mutations. Median MIC fold-increase from baseline was 32-, 24-, 16-, and 6-fold for ceftolozane-tazobactam, ceftolozane-avibactam (AVI), ceftolozane-relebactam (REL), and ceftolozane-durlobactam (DUR), respectively.
