Multicentre study of ceftazidime/avibactam for Gram-negative bacteria infections in critically ill patients

Barbara Balandin et al.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of ceftazidime/avibactam (C/A) in the treatment of Gram-negative bacterial infections in critically ill patients. The results showed that C/A was effective in treating severe GNB infections, including carbapenem-resistant isolates, in critically ill patients. Combination therapy with C/A did not have a higher clinical response compared to monotherapy. The presence of bacteremia, previous corticosteroid use, and the need for life-supporting therapies were significantly associated with mortality.

In vivo selection of KPC-94 and KPC-95 in Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates from patients treated with ceftazidime/avibactam

Summary: This study describes the emergence of CZA resistance in clinical isolates, which is related to mutations in the bla(KPC) gene. The study identifies new alleles, KPC-94 and KPC-95, that do not cause carbapenem resistance.

Assessment of Ceftazidime-Avibactam 30/20-μg Disk, Etest versus Broth Microdilution Results When Tested against Enterobacterales Clinical Isolates

Renru Han et al.

Summary: The objective of this study was to evaluate the correlation between inhibitory zones and MIC of ceftazidime-avibactam using different testing methods. The results showed that both Etest and disk diffusion had a high agreement with the reference method, broth microdilution, in determining the susceptibility of Enterobacterales to ceftazidime-avibactam.

Real-Time Optimization of Pharmacodynamic Target Attainment at Infection Site during Treatment of Post-Neurosurgical Ventriculitis Caused by Carbapenem-Resistant Gram Negatives with Ceftazidime-Avibactam-Based Regimens: A Report of Two Cases

Milo Gatti et al.

Summary: Two cases of post-neurosurgical ventriculitis caused by carbapenem-resistant Gram-negative pathogens were successfully treated with high-dose ceftazidime/avibactam. The implementation of a real-time clinical pharmacological advice program, which allowed for the optimization of PK/PD targets at the infection site over time, proved to be very helpful.

Susceptibility of Meropenem-Resistant and/or Carbapenemase-Producing Clinical Isolates of Enterobacterales (Enterobacteriaceae) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa to Ceftazidime-Avibactam and Ceftolozane-Tazobactam as Assessed by In Vitro Testing Methods

Venere Cortazzo et al.

Summary: This study assessed the comparability of different in vitro susceptibility testing methods for ceftazidime-avibactam and ceftolozane-tazobactam. The results showed that VITEK 2 and ETEST yielded equivalent testing results to the BMD method in a clinical context.

Arhodoula Papadomanolaki et al.

Summary: In this study, the performance of Vitek 2 and Etest methods for susceptibility testing of two novel antibiotics was compared. The results showed that Vitek 2 had comparable performance to the standard broth microdilution method, while Etest did not meet the performance criteria in some cases. Further studies are needed to assess the reliability of Etest.

KPC-39-Mediated Resistance to Ceftazidime-Avibactam in a Klebsiella pneumoniae ST307 Clinical Isolate

Agnes B. Jousset et al.

Summary: Resistance to the combination of ceftazidime (CAZ) and avibactam (AVI) is increasing, with a CAZ-AVI-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae strain reported here. This strain, belonging to the high-risk sequence type 307 (ST307) clone, produces Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase 39 (KPC-39), a single-amino-acid variant of KPC3. The study found that KPC-39 has lost carbapenemase activity but shows increased affinity for CAZ, suggesting potential silent dissemination in European healthcare settings.

The Epidemiology and Pathogenesis and Treatment of Pseudomonas aeruginosa Infections: An Update

Dan Reynolds et al.

Summary: Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a Gram-negative bacterial pathogen commonly causing nosocomial infections, with increasing trends of antimicrobial resistance. It has various virulence mechanisms like toxin secretion and biofilm formation. Management includes prevention, obtaining cultures, and prompt antimicrobial therapy, sometimes requiring combination therapy.

Molecular Mechanisms Driving the In Vivo Development of KPC-71-Mediated Resistance to Ceftazidime-Avibactam during Treatment of Carbapenem-Resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae Infections

Xi Li et al.

Summary: The study identified a novel KPC variant, KPC-71, in a clinical CRKP strain, leading to the development of CZA resistance during treatment. The KPC-71 enzyme exhibited higher affinity towards ceftazidime and reduced sensitivity to avibactam, resulting in CZA resistance. This novel variant is the first report of its emergence and clinicians should be aware of the risk of CZA resistance in CRKP strains under treatment pressure.

Performance of disc diffusion, MIC gradient tests and Vitek 2 for ceftolozane/tazobactam and ceftazidime/avibactam susceptibility testing of Pseudomonas aeruginosa

Brice Daragon et al.

Summary: Gradient tests (MIC Test Strip and Etest) and Vitek 2 card XN12 performed the best in determining the susceptibility of P. aeruginosa to ceftolozane/tazobactam, while gradient tests were an acceptable alternative to broth microdilution for assessing the susceptibility to ceftazidime/avibactam.

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.
