Journal: In Vitro Activity of Ceftazidime-Avibactam against Clinical Isolates of Enterobacteriaceae and Pseudomonas aeruginosa Collected in Latin American Countries: Results from the INFORM Global Surveillance Program, 2012-2015. (Pubmed Central) - Mar 12, 2020 Overall, clinical isolates of Enterobacteriaceae collected in Latin America from 2012 to 2015 were highly susceptible to ceftazidime-avibactam, including isolates that exhibited resistance to ceftazidime, meropenem, colistin, or an MDR phenotype. Country-specific variations were noted in the susceptibility of P. aeruginosa isolates to ceftazidime-avibactam.

Clinical, Journal: Efficacy of Ceftazidime-avibactam Salvage Therapy in Patients with Infections Caused by KPC-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae. (Pubmed Central) - Mar 9, 2020 Multivariate analysis of the 208 cases of KPC-Kp bacteremia identified septic shock, neutropenia, Charlson comorbidity index >3, and recent mechanical ventilation as independent predictors of mortality, whereas receipt of CAZ-AVI was the sole independent predictor of survival. CAZ-AVI appears to be a promising drug for treatment of severe KPC-Kp infections, especially those involving bacteremia.

Clinical, Journal: Ceftazidime/avibactam, Meropenem/vaborbactam or both? Clinical and formulary considerations. (Pubmed Central) - Mar 9, 2020 This review focuses on differences in in vitro activity of these agents as a function of mechanism of carbapenem resistance, the clinical data supporting their superiority over colistin-based therapy, and the differences between agents with regards to propensity for selection of resistance. Furthermore, considerations and recommendations for hospital formularies and antibiotic stewardship programs regarding positioning of these agents are discussed.

Clinical, Review, Journal: Dose Selection and Validation for Ceftazidime-Avibactam in Adults with Complicated Intra-Abdominal Infections, Complicated Urinary Tract Infections and Nosocomial Pneumonia. (Pubmed Central) - Feb 29, 2020 Subgroup simulations for individual Phase III patients showed that the dosage regimen was robust, with high target attainment (>95%) against MICs ≤8 mg/l achieved regardless of older age, obesity, augmented renal clearance or severity of infection. This review summarizes how the approved ceftazidime-avibactam dosage regimens were developed and validated using PK/PD targets, population PK modeling, and PTA analyses.

Clinical, Review, Journal: Current status of ESKAPE microorganisms in Spain: Epidemiology and resistance phenotypes. (Pubmed Central) - Feb 14, 2020 Increase of faecal carriers and presence of carbapenemases in the so-called high-risk clones have boosted the persistence and dissemination of CPE. One of these clones, the ST307 K. pneumoniae, has been associated with the spread of KPC carbapenemases and emergence of KPC variants conferring resistance to ceftazidime-avibactam combination.

An important point of the review focuses on piperacillin-tazobactam as the agent arousing the most debate. The most available data regarding non-carbapenem β-lactams (i.e., ceftolozane-tazobactam, ceftazidime-avibactam, temocillin, cephamycins and cefepime) are also thoroughly presented as well as non β-lactams (i.e., aminoglycosides, quinolones, tigecycline, eravacycline and fosfomycin).
