  • ||||||||||  Journal:  New Kids on the Block: Estimating Use of Next-generation Gram-negative Antibiotics Across Greater Than 700 Hospitals in the United States. (Pubmed Central) -  Mar 5, 2025   
    In recent years, new broad-spectrum antibiotics targeting Gram-negative organisms have been introduced, including cefiderocol, ceftazidime-avibactam, ceftolozane-tazobactam, eravacycline, imipenem-relebactam, omadacycline, and meropenem-vaborbactam...In contrast, piperacillin-tazobactam was prescribed in 731 719 (18.8%) and colistin in 570 (0.01%) admissions...Ceftazidime-avibactam and ceftolozane-tazobactam remain the most frequently prescribed new antibiotics, with uptake of subsequently approved agents trailing. New antibiotics are most commonly used as treatment for sepsis among patients with multiple comorbidities.
  • ||||||||||  Journal:  Comparative phenotypic and genotypic antimicrobial susceptibility surveillance in Achromobacter spp. through whole genome sequencing. (Pubmed Central) -  Feb 27, 2025   
    In general, the species other than A. xylosoxidans showed lower MIC50 and MIC90, especially to carbapenems and ?-lactamase inhibitor combinations like piperacillin-tazobactam, meropenem-vaborbactam, and imipenem-relebactam...Our study provides phenotypic data regarding identification and susceptibility testing and correlates this with the genotypic characterization of 109 clinical isolates belonging to Achromobacter spp. This comprehensive study sheds light on the phenotypic and genotypic character of this bacteria, that is of increasing clinical relevance in hospital-acquired infections.

    Based on in vitro data, IMI/REL represents a good therapeutic option for most hospitalized pediatric patients infected with common Gram-negative pathogens. We highlight the importance of tracking carbapenemases for epidemiological control and therapeutic guidance.

    Journal:  Mobilization of an ICEclc-like element as a potential mechanism for the spread of IMP-13 carbapenemase in Pseudomonas aeruginosa. (Pubmed Central) -  Dec 21, 2024   
    Additionally, three of the studied isolates exhibited high-level resistance to imipenem and imipenem-relebactam that was linked to an insertion sequence in the oprD gene...The conjugation rate was low, at approximately 10-8 transconjugants per donor and ICE transfer appeared to mobilize some adjacent parental genes located immediately downstream of the ICE. In conclusion, these results suggest that even if the spread of blaIMP-13 is mainly due to an epidemic ST621 clone, the mobilization of a blaIMP-13-carrying ICEclc-like element is possible and should not be underestimated.
  • ||||||||||  Journal:  Antimicrobial susceptibility to last-resort antibiotics in carbapenemase-producing bacteria from Ukrainian patients. (Pubmed Central) -  Nov 7, 2024   
    For most CPE, a low minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) of <0.5 mg/L was measured for tigecycline and ceftazidime-avibactam-aztreonam...For CRAB, ampicillin-sulbactam MICs were ?128 mg/L; for sulbactam-durlobactam, 1-2 mg/L...Our research revealed that there was extensive phenotypic resistance to last-resort antibiotics. Healthcare professionals should be aware of multidrug-resistant microorganisms when treating patients recently admitted in Ukraine, suspected for Gram-negative bacterial infection.

    Journal:  Therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) of ?-lactam/?-lactamase inhibitor (BL/BLI) drug combinations: insights from a pharmacometric simulation study. (Pubmed Central) -  Oct 22, 2024   
    This study highlights the risk of solely relying on TDM of BLs, as this can indicate acceptable exposures of the BL while the BLI concentration, and consequently the combination, can result in suboptimal performance in terms of bacterial killing. Thus, dose adjustments also based on plasma concentration measurements of BLIs, in particular for avibactam and tazobactam, can be valuable in clinical practice to obtain effective exposures at the target site.

    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.
