Efficacy and safety of sulbactam-durlobactam versus colistin for the treatment of patients with serious infections caused by Acinetobacter baumannii-calcoaceticus complex: a multicentre, randomised, active-controlled, phase 3, non-inferiority clinical trial (ATTACK)

Keith S. Kaye et al.

Summary: This study compares the efficacy and safety of sulbactam-durlobactam with colistin in the treatment of serious infections caused by carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii-calcoaceticus complex. The results show that sulbactam-durlobactam is non-inferior to colistin in terms of 28-day all-cause mortality and has a lower incidence of nephrotoxicity. Sulbactam-durlobactam could be an effective intervention for reducing mortality from carbapenem-resistant ABC infections.

Infectious Diseases Society of America Guidance on the Treatment of AmpC β-Lactamase-Producing Enterobacterales, Carbapenem-Resistant Acinetobacter baumannii, and Stenotrophomonas maltophilia Infections

Pranita D. Tamma et al.

Summary: The Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA) has provided updated guidance on the treatment of antimicrobial-resistant infections, focusing on treating AmpC-producing Enterobacterales, carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii, and Stenotrophomonas maltophilia infections. The guidance is based on clinical experience, expert opinion, and a review of available literature, as published data on optimal treatment options are limited. This document emphasizes treatment approaches for infections in the United States, considering differences in resistance epidemiology and the availability of specific anti-infectives internationally.

Mechanisms of Reduced Susceptibility to Cefiderocol Among Isolates from the CREDIBLE-CR and APEKS-NP Clinical Trials

Patrice Nordmann et al.

Summary: The objective of this study is to characterize isolates with reduced susceptibility to cefiderocol in patients receiving cefiderocol for nosocomial pneumonia or carbapenem-resistant infections. The study found that although the minimum inhibitory concentration of some isolates increased by more than 4-fold, they remained susceptible to cefiderocol. Mutations related to enzyme activity and protein were identified in the isolates, which may contribute to the decreased susceptibility to cefiderocol.

Antimicrobial Dose Reduction in Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy: Myth or Real Need? A Practical Approach for Guiding Dose Optimization of Novel Antibiotics

Milo Gatti et al.

Summary: In critically ill patients undergoing CRRT, dose optimization of antimicrobial agents is complicated by the impact of the extracorporeal circuit on pharmacokinetics and dynamic changes in renal function. The lack of pharmacokinetic data for novel antimicrobials during CRRT poses challenges for evidence-based dose recommendations. Further studies are needed to guide optimal dosing in this population.

Ever-Adapting RND Efflux Pumps in Gram-Negative Multidrug-Resistant Pathogens: A Race against Time

Martijn Zwama et al.

Summary: The rise in multidrug resistance poses a major threat to human health globally due to the over-expression of multidrug efflux pumps and amino acid substitutions within the pumps themselves causing increased drug efflux efficiency. Studies on clinically, environmentally and laboratory-evolved Gram-negative bacterial strains have shown mutations in the RND-type pumps leading to decreased drug sensitivity. Understanding the evolution and variations in efflux pumps is crucial for the development of novel antibiotics and efflux pump inhibitors.
