Knowledge on resistance mechanisms toward cefiderocol, a novel siderophore-conjugated cephalosporin antibiotic, is still limited. Our study aimed to investigate the effect of different beta-lactamases on the development of cefiderocol resistance in E.coli. Cefiderocol-resistant isolates emerged only in isolates producing VIM-1 and NDM-5 metallo-beta-lactamase, indicating the importance of these enzymes in facilitating resistance development.
Knowledge on resistance mechanisms toward cefiderocol, a novel siderophore-conjugated cephalosporin antibiotic, is still limited. Although the presence of New-Delhi metallo-beta-lactamase has been demonstrated to facilitate the resistance development toward cefiderocol via siderophore receptor mutations in Enterobacter cloacae and Klebsiella pneumoniae, the impact of metallo-beta-lactamases on facilitating such mutations in Escherichia coli is not yet elucidated. Our study aimed to study the effect of the presence of various beta-lactamases, such as NDM-5, VIM-1, KPC-2, and OXA-48, on the development of cefiderocol resistance in E. coli. To this end, we performed liquid mating to transfer these beta-lactamases onto a defined K-12 E. coli background (J53) and exposed these transconjugants to increasing cefiderocol concentrations in a serial passage experiment. Cefiderocol-resistant isolates were genotyped by whole-genome sequencing to investigate the underlying resistance mechanism.

Cefiderocol-resistant isolates were genotyped by whole-genome sequencing to investigate the underlying resistance mechanism. Cefiderocol-resistant isolates emerged only in isolates producing VIM-1 and NDM-5 metallo-beta-lactamase, but not in those producing the serine beta-lactamases KPC-2 and OXA-48. We observed two distinct morphological changes of the J53 E. coli strain exhibiting reduced colony size after insertions of transposable elements in the tonB gene leading to alterations in the TonB binding site and morphological changes consistent with the small-colony variant (SCV) phenotype due to mutations in the hemB and hemH genes. Passaging experiments suggested that these phenotypes were highly plastic. The SCV phenotype is attributed to immune evasion and decreased susceptibility toward antibiotics. The emergence of SCV following cefiderocol exposure may have clinical implications for bacterial clearance and warrants further investigation.
