Occurrence of multi-carbapenemases producers among carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales and in vitro activity of combinations including cefiderocol, ceftazidime-avibactam, meropenem-vaborbactam, and aztreonam in the COVID-19 era

Gabriele Bianco et al.

Summary: The occurrence of multi-carbapenemase producers is not uncommon in Northern Italy area. MEV in combination with ATM might be considered as a potential therapeutic option, alternative to CZA plus ATM. CFDC susceptibility testing and synergy evaluation of ATM-based combinations should be performed in the lab routine to evaluate the most in vitro active antimicrobial regimen.

Cefiderocol- Compared to Colistin-Based Regimens for the Treatment of Severe Infections Caused by Carbapenem-Resistant Acinetobacter baumannii

Marco Falcone et al.

Summary: Cefiderocol appears to be a promising therapeutic option for carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAB) infections, with a potential protective effect on 30-day mortality. However, further studies are needed to address the issue of microbiological failure.

An Observational Study of MDR Hospital-Acquired Infections and Antibiotic Use during COVID-19 Pandemic: A Call for Antimicrobial Stewardship Programs

Nour Shbaklo et al.

Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic has led to major adjustments in healthcare systems and has caused an increase in multidrug-resistant (MDR) hospital-acquired infections (HAIs) at Molinette Hospital. The study also found changes in antibiotic consumption, with a reduction in fluoroquinolone use and an increase in the use of fourth- and fifth-generation cephalosporins and piperacillin-tazobactam during the COVID-19 period. The findings highlight the need for improved infection control practices and microbiological diagnosis during pandemics.

Luigi Principe et al.

Summary: Bacterial resistance mechanisms are continuously and rapidly evolving, especially for Gram-negative bacteria. The strategy of developing new beta-lactam/beta-lactamase inhibitors (BLs/BLIs) combinations has been successful, and data on several compounds are becoming available. Cefiderocol, with its unique mechanism of action, warrants separate discussion.

Efficacy and safety of cefiderocol or best available therapy for the treatment of serious infections caused by carbapenem-resistant Gram-negative bacteria (CREDIBLE-CR): a randomised, open-label, multicentre, pathogen-focused, descriptive, phase 3 trial

Matteo Bassetti et al.

Summary: The study assessed the efficacy and safety of cefiderocol versus best available therapy in the treatment of patients with carbapenem-resistant Gram-negative infections. Cefiderocol showed similar clinical and microbiological efficacy to best available therapy in this heterogeneous patient population with infections caused by carbapenem-resistant Gram-negative bacteria, suggesting it as an option for the treatment of carbapenem-resistant infections in patients with limited treatment options.

Cefiderocol versus high-dose, extended-infusion meropenem for the treatment of Gram-negative nosocomial pneumonia (APEKS-NP): a randomised, double-blind, phase 3, non-inferiority trial

Richard G. Wunderink et al.

Summary: Cefiderocol was found to be non-inferior to high-dose, extended-infusion meropenem in terms of all-cause mortality on day 14 in patients with Gram-negative nosocomial pneumonia, with similar tolerability. This suggests that cefiderocol is a potential option for the treatment of patients with nosocomial pneumonia, including those caused by multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria.

Summary: In the past decade, novel cephalosporins have shown promising microbiological susceptibility in septic and bacteremic patients, providing potential solutions for severe infections. Further pharmacological data is required to determine optimal dosing and prevent sub-therapeutic drug levels. New cephalosporins have opened up new prospects for the treatment of infectious diseases.

Cefiderocol: A Review in Serious Gram-Negative Bacterial Infections

Yahiya Y. Syed

Summary: Cefiderocol is a cephalosporin with activity against carbapenem-resistant bacteria and nonfermenters, using the bacteria's iron uptake system to disrupt the cell wall and kill the bacteria. It has shown good effectiveness and safety in clinical trials for various serious bacterial infections, providing a useful addition to treatment options for adults with limited choices.

Compassionate use of meropenem/vaborbactam for infections caused by KPC-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae: a multicentre study

Mario Tumbarello et al.

Summary: The study found that meropenem/vaborbactam therapy is effective for treating serious KPC-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae infections, even when there is resistance to ceftazidime/avibactam. Clinical cure rates were high, but there were cases of recurrence and mortality in patients treated with this combination therapy.
