Carbapenem-resistant bacteria in an intensive care unit during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic: A multicenter before-and-after cross-sectional study

Renato Pascale et al.

Summary: This study assessed the incidence of colonization and infection with CPE and CR-Ab in ICUs before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. The results showed no significant change in CPE colonization and infection, but a significant increase in CR-Ab colonization and infection. The CR-Ab strains belonged to the same clonal lineage and horizontal transmission was observed. Therefore, infection control activities should be conducted during the pandemic and adjusted according to the situation.

Cefiderocol as Rescue Therapy for Acinetobacter baumannii and Other Carbapenem-resistant Gram-negative Infections in Intensive Care Unit Patients

Marco Falcone et al.

Summary: In this study, cefiderocol was used to treat patients with bacteremia or ventilator-associated pneumonia caused by drug-resistant strains, showing a 70% clinical success rate and 90% survival rate. However, two patients experienced microbiological failure, highlighting the need for future prospective studies to further evaluate the effectiveness of the treatment.

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.

Ceftazidime-Avibactam Use for Klebsiella pneumoniae Carbapenemase-Producing K. pneumoniae Infections: A Retrospective Observational Multicenter Study

Mario Tumbarello et al.

Summary: The study found that there was no significant difference in 30-day mortality rates between patients treated with ceftazidime-avibactam alone and those treated with combination regimens for managing infections caused by carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae. Factors such as septic shock and neutropenia at infection onset were positively associated with mortality, while prolonged infusion of CAZ-AVI was negatively associated with mortality. Further research is needed to explore the potential survival benefits of prolonging CAZ-AVI infusions in certain types of infections.

Pharmacological and clinical profile of cefiderocol, a siderophore cephalosporin against gram-negative pathogens

Anselm Jorda et al.

Summary: The increasing resistance of gram-negative bacteria necessitates effective antibiotics, and Cefiderocol, a siderophore cephalosporin, offers a promising solution in combating resistant pathogens. Comprehensive studies have shown its efficacy against various gram-negative pathogens with limited resistance, making it a viable treatment option for patients with gram-negative infections. In clinical trials, Cefiderocol demonstrated non-inferiority in treating complicated urinary tract infections and nosocomial pneumonia compared to carbapenems, and showed similarity in efficacy against carbapenem-resistant gram-negative pathogens when compared to the best available therapy.
