Abstract
Objectives
The treatment options available for infections caused by multidrug-resistant Gram-negative pathogens are often limited. Cefiderocol (CFDC) is a novel siderophore cephalosporin that exhibits activity against these pathogens. Several studies have reported the in vitro activity of CFDC against isolates from Europe, the United States, and China, but the activity against carbapenem-resistant bacteria with IMP-type carbapenemase has not been extensively studied. We, therefore, studied the in vitro activities of CFDC against carbapenem-resistant bacteria with available genomic backgrounds based on whole-genome sequencing (WGS) in Japan, where the IMP-type is the predominant carbapenemase produced by Gram-negative rods.
Methods
We selected 603 isolates (528 Enterobacterales, 18 Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and 57 Acinetobacter spp.) from a collection of Gram-negative clinical isolates collected during a Japan Antimicrobial Resistance Bacterial Surveillance program and evaluated the antimicrobial activities of CFDC, ceftolozane/tazobactam (CTLZ/TAZ), imipenem-relebactam (IPM/REL), and ceftazidime/avibactam (CAZ/AVI) against carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales, carbapenemase-non-producing meropenem-non-susceptible Enterobacterales, and carbapenemase-producing nonfermentative bacteria.
Results
Among these, 97.7% of carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales (99.2% of IMP-type carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales), 100% of carbapenemase-producing P. aeruginosa, and 91.2% of carbapenemase-producing Acinetobacter spp. were susceptible to CFDC, showing better antimicrobial activity than the other antimicrobial agents evaluated in this study. CFDC was highly effective against class A-, B-, and D β-lactamase-harbouring isolates when compared to the other antimicrobial agents. In addition, the relationship between CFDC resistance and three genetic factors involved in resistance was discussed.
Conclusions
This is the first large-scale study to systematically demonstrate the efficacy of CFDC against IMP-type carbapenemase-producing strains with known genomic backgrounds.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Global Antimicrobial Resistance (JGAR) is a quarterly online journal run by an international Editorial Board that focuses on the global spread of antibiotic-resistant microbes.
JGAR is a dedicated journal for all professionals working in research, health care, the environment and animal infection control, aiming to track the resistance threat worldwide and provides a single voice devoted to antimicrobial resistance (AMR).
Featuring peer-reviewed and up to date research articles, reviews, short notes and hot topics JGAR covers the key topics related to antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal and antiparasitic resistance.
