Journal: Maximally precise combinations to overcome metallo-?-lactamase-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae. (Pubmed Central) - Sep 20, 2024 Despite intrinsic mgrB and blaNDM-1 resistance, polymyxin B and ?-lactam combinations represent a promising strategy. Future studies using an integrated molecularly precise pharmacodynamic approach are warranted to unravel the mechanistic details to propose optimal antibiotic combinations to combat untreatable, pan-drug-resistant Gram-negatives.

Journal: Predicting Pseudomonas aeruginosa drug resistance using artificial intelligence and clinical MALDI-TOF mass spectra. (Pubmed Central) - Sep 18, 2024 In this study, we repurposed mass spectra generated by MALDI-TOF and used them as inputs for artificial intelligence approaches to successfully predict AMR in P. aeruginosa for multiple key antibiotic classes. This work represents an important advance toward using MALDI-TOF as a rapid AMR diagnostic for P. aeruginosa in clinical settings.

Clinical, Retrospective data, Review, Journal: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Clinical Efficacy and Safety of Meropenem-Vaborbactam versus Best-Available Therapy in Patients with Carbapenem-Resistant Enterobacteriaceae Infections. (Pubmed Central) - Sep 14, 2024 MV was associated with a similar risk of treatment discontinuation due to AEs (RR = 0.76, 95%CI [0.38, 1.49], p = 0.42) or drug-related AEs (RR = 0.56, 95%CI [0.28, 1.10], p = 0.09) as the comparators. In conclusion, MV presents a promising therapeutic option for treating CRE infections, demonstrating similar clinical and microbiological responses as other comparators, with potential advantages in mortality outcomes and renal-related AEs.

Journal: Genome analysis of an extensively drug resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa ST1791 from a patient in China hospitalized for severe pneumonia. (Pubmed Central) - Sep 12, 2024 This is the first large-scale study to systematically demonstrate the efficacy of CFDC against IMP-type carbapenemase-producing strains with known genomic backgrounds. These findings enhance our understanding of the resistance and pathogenicity of the ST1971 P. aeruginosa strain that is unique in China and provide a broader perspective on the global epidemiological landscape, suggesting the emergence of P. aeruginosa ST1971, which requires control measures to limit its dissemination.

Activity of ?-lactams and new ?-lactamase inhibitors in multidrug-resistant Burkholderia contaminans () - Sep 4, 2024 - Abstract #NACFC2024NACFC_835; Although the presence of class D ?-L could contribute, our research suggests that other resistance mechanisms would also be involved. Studies with larger numbers of isolates are needed to validate these results and to establish valid breakpoints for B. contaminans.
