Changing Epidemiology and Decreased Mortality Associated With Carbapenem-resistant Gram-negative Bacteria, 2000-2017

Ahmed Babiker et al.

Summary: Carbapenem-resistant gram-negative bacteria (CRGNB) have shown emerging trends over nearly 2 decades, causing high mortality rates among patients. Despite increasing rates of CRGNB, overall patient outcomes have improved, likely due to increased recognition and the emergence of novel therapeutics.

Emergence and Expansion of a Carbapenem-Resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa Clone Are Associated with Plasmid-Borne blaKPC-2 and Virulence-Related Genes

Yanyan Hu et al.

Summary: Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a major opportunistic pathogen causing healthcare-associated infections, with carbapenem-resistant strains on the rise. A highly resistant CRPA clone (ST463) has emerged recently, carrying virulence-related genes and the plasmid-borne carbapenem-resistant gene bla(KPC-2).

Time-Kill Evaluation of Antibiotic Combinations Containing Ceftazidime-Avibactam against Extensively Drug-Resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Their Potential Role against Ceftazidime-Avibactam-Resistant Isolates

Maria M. Montero et al.

Summary: Ceftazidime-avibactam (CZA) has shown promise in treating Pseudomonas aeruginosa infections, particularly those that are extensively drug-resistant (XDR). Combination therapy with CZA and other antibiotics was more effective than monotherapy against XDR isolates, including those resistant to CZA. This study highlights the potential of CZA combinations in treating difficult-to-treat XDR P. aeruginosa infections.
