Effects of Inactivation of D,D-Transpeptidases of Acinetobacter baumannii on Bacterial Growth and Susceptibility to β-Lactam Antibiotics

Marta Toth et al.

Summary: Resistance to beta-lactams is a major problem in treating bacterial infections. In the case of Acinetobacter baumannii, resistance to beta-lactam antibiotics has resulted in the spread of multidrug-resistant isolates. This study found that PBP3 is essential for the survival of A. baumannii, and inhibiting PBP1a and PBP2, or PBPs in combination with LdtJ, could be potential strategies for designing new drugs against this pathogen.

Comparative efficacy and safety of combination therapy with high-dose sulbactam or colistin with additional antibacterial agents for multiple drug-resistant and extensively drug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii infections: A systematic review and network meta-analysis

Jiating Liu et al.

Summary: The study showed that combination therapy with high-dose sulbactam and additional antibacterial agents had promising efficacy in treating MDR-AB or XDR-AB infections, while colistin-based combinations remained the mainstay in most studies. However, colistin combined with other antibacterial agents was associated with a higher risk of nephrotoxicity.

Mechanistic Basis of OXA-48-like β-Lactamases' Hydrolysis of Carbapenems

Vlatko Stojanoski et al.

Summary: Carbapenem-hydrolyzing class D beta-lactamases (CHDLs) confer resistance to carbapenem antibiotics, with OXA-48 and OXA-163 being members of the OXA-48-like enzyme group. OXA-163 displays altered substrate specificity compared to OXA-48, with decreased carbapenemase activity due to a slower deacylation reaction. Structural analysis suggests that differences in active site architecture contribute to the differences in carbapenem hydrolysis between OXA-48 and OXA-163.

Comparative analysis of carbapenemases, RND family efflux pumps and biofilm formation potential among Acinetobacter baumannii strains with different carbapenem susceptibility

Yanpeng Zhang et al.

Summary: Carbapenem non-susceptible A. baumannii (CnSAB) strains showed increased distribution of carbapenemase genes and overexpression of RND family efflux pumps, leading to stronger antibiotic resistance, while carbapenem susceptible A. baumannii (CSAB) strains exhibited higher biofilm formation potential to survive antibiotic stress.

Biocide resistance in Acinetobacter baumannii: appraising the mechanisms

E. S. Milani et al.

Summary: The global rise of antibiotic-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii necessitates careful selection of biocides and disinfectants to prevent nosocomial infections. Inadequate biocides can contribute to antimicrobial resistance by triggering a stress response that propagates resistance mechanisms. Understanding the mechanisms of action of biocides and resistance modalities can lead to the discovery of new agents.

Atypically Modified Carbapenem Antibiotics Display Improved Antimycobacterial Activity in the Absence of β-Lactamase Inhibitors

Rashmi Gupta et al.

Summary: Commercial carbapenem antibiotics are being used to treat multidrug resistant and extensively drug resistant tuberculosis. In this study, a series of atypical C5 alpha modifications of the carbapenem scaffold were synthesized and evaluated for their antibacterial activity against Mtb and Mab. Compound 10a showed superior activity compared to standard carbapenems, especially against Mab, and exhibited excellent acylation of the mycobacterial target Ldt(Mt2) leading to a unique carbapenem fragmentation. These novel atypical carbapenems show promise as potential candidates for the treatment of Mtb and Mab infections.

Alemu Gedefie et al.

Summary: Acinetobacter species, especially A. baumannii, pose a significant threat in hospital environments, particularly in ICUs, due to their ability to develop antibiotic resistance mechanisms and cause biofilm-associated infections. Health care workers should focus on infection prevention and selective treatments to combat biofilm-related infections caused by A. baumannii.
