PK/PD data, Preclinical, Journal: The primary pharmacology of ceftazidime/avibactam: in vivo translational biology and pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics (PK/PD). (Pubmed Central) - Aug 31, 2022 In a rat abdominal abscess model, therapy with ceftazidime or ceftazidime/avibactam (4:1 w/w) against blaKPC-2-positive K. pneumoniae resulted in 9.3 versus 3.3 log cfu/abscess, respectively, after 52 h. With respect to PK/PD, in Monte Carlo simulations, attainment of unbound drug exposure targets (ceftazidime fT>8 mg/L and avibactam fT>1 mg/L, each for 50% of the dosing interval) for the labelled dose of ceftazidime/avibactam (2 and 0.5 g, respectively, q8h by 2 h IV infusion), including dose adjustments for patients with impaired renal function, ranged between 94.8% and 99.6% of patients, depending on the infection modelled.

Journal: Evolution of β-lactamase-mediated cefiderocol resistance. (Pubmed Central) - Aug 31, 2022 The expression of contemporary β-lactamase genes can potentially contribute to cefiderocol resistance development and the acquisition of mutations in these genes results in enzymes adapting to increasing cefiderocol concentrations. Resistance development caused clinically important cross-resistance, especially against ceftazidime and ceftazidime/avibactam.
