Breaking the barriers for the delivery of amikacin: Challenges, strategies, and opportunities

Amala Maxwell et al.

Summary: Hypodermic delivery of amikacin is commonly used for severe infections, but faces challenges such as frequent dosing, prolonged hospitalization, and severe adverse effects. Novel controlled and sustained release drug delivery platforms may address these issues, enhance antibacterial activity, overcome drug resistance, and pave the way for future therapeutic interventions.

Screening of Antimicrobial Resistance Genes and Epidemiological Features in Hospital and Community-Associated Carbapenem-Resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa Infections

Aysegul Copur Cicek et al.

Summary: Researching carbapenem-resistant isolates revealed a high prevalence of bacteria carrying beta-lactamase and metallo-beta-lactamase genes, with more resistance genes and coexistence found in hospital-acquired samples. There was no difference between community and hospital-associated isolates in PFGE results, but a significant difference was observed in terms of fatality rates, indicating the importance of other microorganisms coexisting with resistance genes in patient outcomes.

Polymyxin resistance in Enterobacterales: overview and epidemiology in the Americas

J. Rodriguez-Santiago et al.

Summary: This study provides an overview of the global spread of carbapenem-and polymyxin-resistant Enterobacterales, with a focus on the situation in the Americas. The findings highlight the urgent need for surveillance of polymyxin resistance in Enterobacterales and regulatory measures for antimicrobial use in veterinary medicine.

In Vitro Activity of Cefepime-Zidebactam, Ceftazidime-Avibactam, and Other Comparators against Clinical Isolates of Enterobacterales, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Acinetobacter baumannii: Results from China Antimicrobial Surveillance Network (CHINET) in 2018

Yang Yang et al.

Summary: The study found that cefepime-zidebactam exhibited potent activity against almost all Enterobacterales and good activity against P. aeruginosa, while ceftazidime-avibactam showed good in vitro activity against Enterobacterales and P. aeruginosa but less activity against Acinetobacter baumannii. Most of the carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae isolates were susceptible to cefepime-zidebactam and ceftazidime-avibactam showed good activity against bla(KPC-2)-positive Enterobacterales and carbapenem-resistant P. aeruginosa.
