This review analyzes the biochemistry, structural biology, and basic microbiology of ceftazidime/avibactam, showing that avibactam inhibits the majority of serine-dependent beta-lactamases in Enterobacterales and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, potentially enhancing the antibacterial activity of ceftazidime.
Previous reviews of ceftazidime/avibactam have focused on in vitro molecular enzymology and microbiology or the clinically associated properties of the combination. Here we take a different approach. We initiate a series of linked reviews that analyse research on the combination that built the primary pharmacology data required to support the clinical and business risk decisions to perform randomized controlled Phase 3 clinical trials, and the additional microbiological research that was added to the above, and the safety and chemical manufacturing and controls data, that constituted successful regulatory licensing applications for ceftazidime/avibactam in multiple countries, including the USA and the EU. The aim of the series is to provide both a source of reference for clinicians and microbiologists to be able to use ceftazidime/avibactam to its best advantage for patients, but also a case study of bringing a novel beta-lactamase inhibitor (in combination with an established beta-lactam) through the microbiological aspects of clinical development and regulatory applications, updated finally with a review of resistance occurring in patients under treatment. This first article reviews the biochemistry, structural biology and basic microbiology of the combination, showing that avibactam inhibits the great majority of serine-dependent beta-lactamases in Enterobacterales and Pseudomonas aeruginosa to restore the in vitro antibacterial activity of ceftazidime. Translation to efficacy against infections in vivo is reviewed in the second co-published article, Nichols et al. (J Antimicrob Chemother 2022; dkac172).
